Recombinant full-length human STK33 was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. STK33 is a distant member of the CAMK group of serine/threonine kinases but it lacks the calcium/calmodulin-binding domain and the C-terminal regulatory tail. STK33 is highly expressed in testis, lung epithelia, alveolar macrophages, horizontal cells in the retina and in embryonic organs such as heart, brain and spinal cord. STK33 is essential for abnormal cell growth in human cell lines expressing oncogenic mutations in KRAS but not in human cancer cell lines expressing wildtype KRAS. STK33 is required for survival and proliferation of mutant KRAS-dependent cancer cells in which it suppresses the S6K1-BAD proapoptotic signaling pathway. Kinase Enzyme System contains: Kinase: STK33, 10ug (Human, recombinant full-length). MW: ~94kDa. Substrate: Native Swine Myelin Basic Protein (MBP). Other: Reaction Buffer, DTT.
