HIPK2 homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2

Gene ID: 28996, updated on 8-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRO0593

Summary

This gene encodes a conserved serine/threonine kinase that is a member of the homeodomain-interacting protein kinase family. The encoded protein interacts with homeodomain transcription factors and many other transcription factors such as p53, and can function as both a corepressor and a coactivator depending on the transcription factor and its subcellular localization. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
