WNK3 WNK lysine deficient protein kinase 3

Gene ID: 65267, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRS; MRXS2; PRKWNK3

Summary

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]
