TSSK4 testis specific serine kinase 4

Gene ID: 283629, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TSK4; TSK-4; TSSK5; STK22E; C14orf20

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the testis-specific serine/threonine kinase family. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in spermatogenesis via stimulation of the CREB/CRE responsive pathway through phosphorylation of the cAMP responsive element binding protein transcription factor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
