Gene information for TESK2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10420
Official gene symbolTESK2
Full nametestis-specific kinase 2
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene product is a serine/threonine protein kinase that contains an N-terminal protein kinase domain that is structurally similar to the kinase domains of testis-specific protein kinase-1 and the LIM motif-containing protein kinases (LIMKs). Its overall structure is most related to the former, indicating that it belongs to the TESK subgroup of the LIMK/TESK family of protein kinases. This gene is predominantly expressed in testis and prostate. The developmental expression pattern of the rat gene in testis suggests an important role for this gene in meitoic stages and/or early stages of spermiogenesis. [provided by RefSeq]
