PINK1 / Alk Phosphatase / S4-15

Product Details

Description	Mouse monoclonal to PINK1 (Alkaline Phosphatase). PINK1 (PTEN induced putative kinase 1) is a mitochondrial serine/threonine kinase which maintains mitochondrial function/integrity, provides protection against mitochondrial dysfunction during cellular stress, potentially by phosphorylating mitochondrial proteins, and is involved in the clearance of damaged mitochondria via selective autophagy (mitophagy). PINK1 is synthesized as a 63 kD protein which undergoes proteolyt processing to generate at least two cleaved forms (55 kD and 42 kD). PINK1 and its substrates have been found in the cytosol as well as in different sub-mitochondrial compartments, and according to the recent reports; PINK1 may be targeted to OMM (outer mitochondrial membrane) with its kinase domain facing the cytosol, providing a possible explanation for the observed physical interaction with the cytosolic E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin. Defective PINK1 may cause alterations in processing, stability, localization and activity as well as binding to substrates/interaction-partners which ultimately leads to differential effects on mitochondrial function and morphology. Mutations in PINK1 are linked to autosomal recessive early onset Parkinson's disease, and are associated with loss of protective function, mitochondrial dysfunction, aggregation of alpha-synuclein, as well as proteasome dysfunction..

About PINK1
This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that localizes to mitochondria. It is thought to protect cells from stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Mutations in this gene cause one form of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
