Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): May mediate the transduction of intracellular signals.
Scientific background (datasheet): CRKL (v-crk sarcoma virus CT10 oncogene homolog (avian)-like) also called ONCOGENE CRKL, encodes a 303-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 36 kD. While CRKL is not the human homolog of CRK, it is similar to protein-tyrosine kinases with SH2 and SH3 (src homology) domains. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the CRKL gene is localized to chromosome 22q11, centromeric of the chronic myelogenous leukemia breakpoint region. Senechal et al. (1996) showed that CRKL becomes phosphorylated when overexpressed, activates Ras-dependent and JNK pathways, and transforms fibroblasts. The authors also found CRKL to be a substrate for the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, leading them to conclude thatCRKL is a tyrosine kinase and an oncogene. Crkl was required for normal cellular responses to Fgf8, including survival and migration, Erk activation, and target gene expression.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the CRK family.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Oncoproteins/Suppressors,Proto-Oncogenes,Signal Transduction,Transcription.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
