BRSK1 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables magnesium ion binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and tau-protein kinase activity. Involved in mitotic G2 DNA damage checkpoint signaling and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and response to UV. Located in cell junction; cytoplasm; and nucleoplasm.

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human BRSK1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
