General annotation (Comments)

Function

Serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in the response to environmental stress and cytokines such as TNF-alpha. Appears to act upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. Ref.1

Cofactor

Magnesium. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Interacts with the SH3 domain of the adapter proteins Nck By similarity. Binds, via its CNH regulatory domain, to the N-terminal region of SPG3A. UniProtKB P97820

Tissue specificity

Appears to be ubiquitous, expressed in all tissue types examined. Isoform 5 appears to be more abundant in the brain, isoform 4 is predominant in the liver, skeletal muscle and placenta. Ref.1

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily.

Contains 1 CNH domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
