Mink1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in brain development; positive regulation of MAPK cascade; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative thymic T cell selection. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in knee joint primordium; knee mesenchyme; lower leg mesenchyme; tibia; and tibia cartilage condensation. Orthologous to human MINK1 (misshapen like 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 Mink1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
