UHMK1 Antibody

1. UHMK1 plays a role in hematopoietic cell differentiation and suppression of autonomous clonal growth of leukemia cells. PMID: 29307747
2. genome-wide association study identified the UHMK1 gene as a novel bone mineral density locus specific to East Asians. PMID: 27424934
3. The contribution of UHMK1 gene in schizophrenia susceptibility, was explored. PMID: 21399567
4. We identify the kinase responsible for S10 phosphorylation as human kinase interacting stathmin (hKIS) and show that it regulates cell cycle progression in response to mitogens. PMID: 12093740
5. KIS gene was overexpressed in NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) as compared to dermal neurofibroma which suggests a possible implication of KIS in the genesis of NF1-associated tumors. PMID: 12782393
6. These results provide preliminary evidence that the UHMK1 gene increases susceptibility to schizophrenia. Further confirmation in adequately powered samples is needed. PMID: 16978587
7. KIS promoter is activated by serum-responsive GABP binding to Ets-binding sites which leads to KIS gene expression, cell migration, and cell cycle progression PMID: 17726090
8. Results show that KIS is a direct transcriptional target of FoxM1. PMID: 17984092
9. Overexpression of KIS protein kinase is associated with acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute lymphoblastic leukemia PMID: 18384876
10. The association between UHMK1 and schizophrenia is confirmed. PMID: 18414510
11. KIS is expressed in neurons, and its encoded protein is localised to the nucleus and cytoplasm. No difference in KIS expression was found between schizophrenics and controls or in the lymphoblast cell lines. PMID: 19747464
12. A follow up article showing further association between markers in UHMK1 and schizophrenia in a London based sample. Association replicated in an independent Scottish sample. PMID: 18414510
13. Evidence indicating that UHMK1 may be a candidate susceptibility gene for Schizophrenia in the British population. UHMK1 is situated between previously implicated genes RGS4 and NOS1AP. PMID: 16978587
