MST1 Gene Sequence, Family, Fuction and Expression Information
MST1 cDNA / Gene Overview
STK4 gene / cDNA is a protein-coding gene which located on 20q13.12. The STK4 gene is conserved in chimpanzee, Rhesus monkey, dog, cow, mouse, rat, chicken, and frog.198 organisms have orthologs with human gene STK4.
MST1 cDNA / Gene Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic kinase that is structurally similar to the yeast Ste20p kinase, which acts upstream of the stress-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. The encoded protein can phosphorylate myelin basic protein and undergoes autophosphorylation. A caspase-cleaved fragment of the encoded protein has been shown to be capable of phosphorylating histone H2B. The particular phosphorylation catalyzed by this protein has been correlated with apoptosis, and it's possible that this protein induces the chromatin condensation observed in this process.
