Csnk1a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within cell morphogenesis. Located in ciliary basal body and spindle. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; metanephros; retina nuclear layer; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human CSNK1A1 (casein kinase 1 alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Csnk1a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
