c-Abl: Proteins and Enzymes

c-Abl (Abelson murine leukemia viral homolog 1) is a cytosolic member of the ABL subfamily, protein tyrosine kinase family of enzymes. It is ubiquitously expressed, and participates in multiple processes such as cell migration, actin reorganization, DNA damage response and apoptosis. Human c-Abl (I-B) is 1149 amino acids (aa) in length. It is myristoylated on Gly2 and contains one SH3 domain (aa 80-140), an SH2 domain (aa 146-236), a protein kinase region (aa 261-512), three NLS's (aa 620-634; ...
