ALK/CD246 Antibody (SP8)

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) was originally discovered as a NPM (Nucleophosmin)-ALK fusion protein. ALK and LTK (leukocyte tyrosine kinase) are receptor tyrosine kinases similar to the insulin receptor subfamily of kinases. LTK is found in murine B Lymphocyte precursors and in forebrain neurons. ALK is usually found in the nervous system. A truncated form of ALK occurs in many non Hodgkin's lymphomas. The ALK gene is on chromosome 2. Upon translocation between chromosome 2 and chromosome 5 [t(2;5}], the ALK gene fuses with the NPM gene. NPM, also known as B23, is an ubiquitous nucleolar phosphoprotein involved in the transport of pre ribosomal components between the nucleolus and the cytoplasm. The chimeric product (NPM ALK) resulting from t(2;5) translocation is a protein of 80kDa with the N terminal portion of NPM linked to the complete intracellular portion of ALK. Karpas 299 and SUDHL1 lymphoid cell lines strongly express NPM ALK.
