| Product Name | Total ULK1 Sandwich ELISA Kit |
| Species | Human; Mouse |
| Description | The Total ULK1 Sandwich ELISA Kit is a solid phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that detects endogenous levels of ULK1 protein. Incubation of cell lysates and detection antibody on the coated microwell plate forms a sandwich with ULK1 in a single step. The plate is then extensively washed and TMB reagent is added for signal development. The magnitude of absorbance for the developed color is proportional to the quantity of ULK1.*Antibodies in this kit are custom formulations specific to kit. |

| Target Description | Two related serine/threonine kinases, UNC-51-like kinase 1 and 2. Both proteins are widely expressed and contain an amino-terminal kinase domain followed by a central proline/serine rich domain and a highly conserved carboxy-terminal domain. The roles of ULK1 and ULK2 in axon growth have been linked to studies showing that the kinases are localized to neuronal growth cones and are involved in endocytosis of critical growth factors, such as NGF. Yeast two-hybrid studies found ULK1/2 associated with modulators of the endocytic pathway, SynGAP, and syntenin. Structural similarity of ULK1/2 has also been recognized with the yeast autophagy protein Atg1/Apg1. Knockdown experiments using siRNA demonstrated that ULK1 is essential for autophagy, a catabolic process for the degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents. It appears that Atg1/ULK1 can act as a convergence point for multiple signals that control autophagy.~Phosphorylation of ULK1 by AMPK at Ser555 is critical for starvation-induced autophagy, cell survival under conditions of low nutrients and energy, and mitochondrial homeostasis. |
