Pkn1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of B cell proliferation; regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and spleen development. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and vascular system. Orthologous to human PKN1 (protein kinase N1).

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 Pkn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
