ALPK1 Antibody Blocking Peptide

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that detects bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern metabolites (PAMPs) and initiates an innate immune response， a critical step for pathogen elimination and engagement of adaptive immunity (PubMed:28877472， PubMed:28222186， PubMed:30111836).Specifically recognizes and binds ADP-D-glycero-beta-D-manno-heptose (ADP-Heptose)， a potent PAMP present in all Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria (PubMed:30111836).ADP-Heptose-binding stimulates its kinase activity to phosphorylate and activate TIFA， triggering proinflammatory NF-kappa-B signaling (PubMed:30111836).May be involved in monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU)-induced inflammation by mediating phosphorylation of unconventional myosin MYO9A (PubMed:27169898).May also play a role in apical protein transport by mediating phosphorylation of unconventional myosin MYO1A (PubMed:15883161)
