Designing an IHC experiment for GAK? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the GAK IHC GuideFacts about Cyclin-G-associated kinase.
Associates with cyclin G and CDK5.
Appears to act as an auxilin homolog that is involved in the uncoating of clathrin- coated vesicles by Hsc70 in non-neuronal cells.Expression oscillates slightly during the cell cycle, peaking at G1. .

Ubiquitous. Highest in testis.
Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Localizes to the perinuclear area and to the trans-Golgi network. Also seen on the plasma membrane, probably at focal adhesions.
