Synonyms: WARTS, wts Figure 1. SDS-PAGE Gel of Typical Lot: Product Description ³70% (SDS-PAGE, densitometry) LATS1 is a putative serine/threonine kinase that localizes to the mitotic apparatus and complexes with cell cycle controller CDC2 kinase in early mitosis, which is phosphorylated in a cell-cycle dependent manner. The N-terminal region of the protein binds CDC2 to form a complex showing reduced H1 histone kinase activity, which indicates a role as a negative regulator of CDC2/cyclin A. The C-terminal kinase domain binds to its own N-terminal region, suggesting potential negative regulation through interference with complex formation via intramolecular binding.1 LATS1 acts as a tumor suppressor and plays an important role in the Figure 2. development of soft-tissue sarcomas, ovarian stromal Specific Activity of Typical Lot: cell tumors, and a high sensitivity to carcinogenic 1.1–1.7 nmole/min/mg treatments.2
