GENE SUMMARY
This gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and encodes a phosphoprotein with a PX (phox homology) domain. The protein phosphorylates several target proteins and has a role in neutral amino acid transport and activation of potassium and chloride channels. Alterte transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
