Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ 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 indicating a role as a negative regulator of CDC2/cyclin A and the C-terminal kinase domain binds to its own N-terminal region, suggesting potential negative regulation through interference with complex formation via intramolecular binding. LATS1 act as a tumor suppressor and play an important role in the development of soft-tissue sarcomas, ovarian stromal cell tumors and a high sensitivity to carcinogenic treatments._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10 mM glutathione, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.25 mM DTT, 0.1 mM PMSF, 25% glycerol._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ After opening, aliquot into smaller quantities and store at -70 °C.
