MARCKS Products

Description

Myristolyated alanine rich C-kinase substrate, hence MARCKS, was originally discovered as a major substrate for protein kinase C in the brain and other tissues, and was originally isolated from human epithelial cells. MARCKS is a major protein of brain, and is concentrated in synapses of neurons. It appears to function in synaptic vesicle cycling and has been shown to bind both actin and calmodulin in vitro. MARCKS belongs to a family of proteins with similar actin and calmodulin binding properties. Deletion of the MARCKS gene in mice results in embryonic brain defects and death.
