Hunk Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HUNK (hormonally up-regulated Neu-associated kinase). [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 Hunk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
