Cilk1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in cilium organization and protein phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary basal body; ciliary base; and ciliary tip. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Used to study endocrine-cerebro-osteodysplasia syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endocrine-cerebro-osteodysplasia syndrome and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 10. Orthologous to human CILK1 (ciliogenesis associated kinase 1).

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 mouse Cilk1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
