Gene information for CSNK2A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1457
Official gene symbolCSNK2A1
Full namecasein kinase 2, alpha 1 polypeptide
Aliases,CK2A1,CKII,
Gene summaryCasein kinase II is a serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates acidic proteins such as casein. The kinase exists as a tetramer and is composed of an alpha, an alpha-prime, and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits contain the catalytic activity while the beta subunits undergo autophosphorylation. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit. While this gene is found on chromosome 20, a related transcribed pseudogene is found on chromosome 11. Three transcript variants encoding two different proteins have been found for this gene.
