TESK1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Testis-specific kinase 1 (TESK1) Homo sapiens This gene product is a serine/threonine protein kinase that contains an N-terminal protein kinase domain and a C-terminal proline-rich domain. Its protein kinase domain is most closely related to those of the LIM motif-containing protein kinases (LIMKs) . The encoded protein can phosphorylate myelin basic protein and histone in vitro. The testicular germ cell-specific expression and developmental pattern of expression of the mouse gene suggests that this gene plays an important role at and after the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015], catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein., cofactor:Magnesium., cofactor:Manganese., domain:The extracatalytic C-terminal part is highly rich in proline residues., enzyme regulation:Activated by autophosphorylation on Ser-220., function:Dual specificity protein kinase activity catalyzing autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of exogenous substrates on both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. Probably plays a central role at and after the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis., PTM:Autophosphorylated on serine and tyrosine residues., similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family., similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain., subunit:Interacts with SPRY4.
