MELK: Proteins and Enzymes

MELK is a member of AMPK family, which has several consensus glycosylation sites. Glycosylations are known to affect migration of proteins on a SDS-PAGE [Hames, B.D and Rickwood, D., eds. Gel electrophoresis of proteins: a practical approach. Oxford University Press]. Further the activity of this antibody was confirmed against recombinant, GST fused MELK protein by Western blotting.
