Sik1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of sodium ion transport. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 30. Orthologous to human SIK1 (salt inducible kinase 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 rat Sik1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
