ALPK2 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; protein serine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including epicardium morphogenesis; heart development; and negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway involved in heart development. Acts upstream of or within regulation of gene expression. Colocalizes with basolateral plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 ALPK2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
