CSNK1E casein kinase 1 epsilon

Gene ID: 1454, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CKIe; HCKIE; CKIepsilon

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a member of the casein kinase I protein family, whose members have been implicated in the control of cytoplasmic and nuclear processes, including DNA replication and repair. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm as a monomer and can phosphorylate a variety of proteins, including itself. This protein has been shown to phosphorylate period, a circadian rhythm protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
