Background
vaccinia related kinase 2(VRK2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein acts as an effector of signaling pathways that regulate apoptosis and tumor cell growth. Variants in this gene have been associated with schizophrenia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that differ in their subcellular localization and biological activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,function:Probable serine/threonine kinase.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CK1 Ser/Thr protein kinase family. VRK subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Highly expressed in fetal liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, heart, peripheral blood leukocytes and testis.,
