Summary: This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase activated by proapoptotic molecules indicating the encoded protein functions as a growth suppressor. Cleavage of the protein product by caspase removes the inhibitory C-terminal portion. The N-terminal portion is transported to the nucleus where it homodimerizes to form the active kinase which promotes the condensation of chromatin during apoptosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001256312.2 → NP_001243241.1 serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001243241.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR and coding region, and uses an alternate start codon compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) has a longer N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
