For maximum recovery please spin prior to use. Unless noted below, aliquots of the 5 µg, 10 µg and 20 µg sizes of kinase are not recommended as materials can be used in original packaging until exhausted. For larger sizes, the number of freeze/thaws may be reduced by preparing aliquots, aliquots below 20 µL are not recommended. Please never store a kinase diluted. If properly stored at -80C, this product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of purchase.

SNF1LK2 (QIK) is a serine/threonine kinase and is a salt-inducible kinase that belongs to the AMP-activated protein kinase family. SNF1LK2 negatively regulates CRE-binding protein (CREB) activity by phosphorylating the CREB-specific coactivator transducer of regulated CREB activity (TORC). SIK2 is thought to be part of a signaling cascade that regulates the expression and activity of the insulin-induced genes PGC-1'alpha and UCP-1 in brown adipocytes, impairment of which has been implicated in obesity and insulin resistance in human and animal models. SIK2 has also been reported as a key regulator for neuronal survival after ischemia, suppressing CREB-mediated gene expression after oxygen-glucose deprivation.
