Background
This gene encodes a protein belonging to the 'with no lysine' family of serine-threonine protein kinases. These family members lack the catalytic lysine in subdomain II, and instead have a conserved lysine in subdomain I. This family member functions as a positive regulator of the transcellular Ca2+ transport pathway, and it plays a role in the increase of cell survival in a caspase-3-dependent pathway. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,caution:Cys-176 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-159 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-308. Phosphorylation of Ser-304 also promotes increased activity.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WNK subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in brain, lung, kidney, liver and pancreas, and in fetal tissues including placenta, fetal brain, lung and kidney. Very low levels of expression were also detected in fetal heart, thymus, liver and spleen.,
