| Tissue Specificity | Selectively expressed in brain and testis, with lower levels in multiple tissues including prostate and breast. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Autophosphorylated. Phosphorylated by MAP2K6//MAPKK6, leading to PAK6 activation. |
| Function | Serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a role in the regulation of gene transcription. The kinase activity is induced by various effectors including AR or MAP2K6/MAPKK6. Phosphorylates the DNA-binding domain of androgen receptor/AR and thereby inhibits AR-mediated transcription. Also inhibits ESR1-mediated transcription. May play a role in cytoskeleton regulation by interacting with IQGAP1. May protect cells from apoptosis through phosphorylation of BAD. |
