Casein kinase 2

Casein kinase 2

The Casein kinase 2 (EC 2.7.11.1) is a serine/threonine-selective protein kinase that is a tetramer of two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits have the catalytic kinase domain. Casein kinase 2 has been implicated in cell cycle control, DNA repair, regulation of the circadian rhythm and other cellular processes.

Casein kinase 2 activity has been reported to be activated following Wnt signaling pathway activation.[1] A Pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein and Dishevelled appear to be an intermediary between Wnt-mediated activation of the Frizzled receptor and activation of casein kinase 2.

Mice that lack casein kinase 2 alpha prime have a defect in the morphology of developing sperm.[2]
