MELK Signaling Pathway Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0311-WXH)

MELK physically interacts with apoptotic signal-regulated kinase 1 (ASK1), whose activity is positively or negatively regulated by its interacting molecules. As an upstream kinase of ASK1, MELK phosphorylates threonine 838 in the activation ring of human ASK1, thus stimulating the kinase activity of ASK1. This interaction enhances JNK-mediated transduction and H2O2-induced apoptosis. MELK also physically interacts with p53 and enhances p53-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle cessation. Therefore, MELK is thought to be a regulator of cell proliferation, division, and apoptosis.
