General description
ALK tyrosine kinase receptor (UniProt: Q9UM73; also known as EC: 2.7.10.1, Anaplastic lymphoma kinase, CD246, ALK) is encoded by the ALK gene (Gene ID: 238) in human. ALK tyrosine kinase receptor is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is essentially and transiently expressed in specific regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems and plays an important role in the genesis and differentiation of the nervous system. It is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system, intestine, and testis. It is a single-pass type I membrane protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently cleaved off in the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 19-1038); a transmembrane domain (aa 1039-1059); and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 1060-1620). ALK acts as a receptor for ligands pleiotrophin (PTN) and midkine (MDK). It homodimerizes and is activated by ligand-binding and subsequent phosphorylation. Following activation by ligand, ALK induces tyrosine phosphorylation of CBL, FRS2, IRS1 and SHC1, as well as of the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1. It phosphorylates almost exclusively at the first tyrosine of the Y-x-x-x-Y-Y motif. It is inactivated through dephosphorylation by receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase beta and zeta complex (PTPRB/PTPRZ1) in the absence of any stimulation by a ligand. A chromosomal aberration involving ALK has been reported in non-Hodgkin lymphoma where the kinase is constitutively activated. Another chromosomal aberration involving ALK has also been linked with anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Clone 1D13 is a ZooMAb® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects ALK. It targets an epitope within 22 amino acids from the C-terminal half.
Physical form
Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
Preparation Note
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
