Pbk Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in stress-activated MAPK cascade. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to UV; negative regulation of protein metabolic process; and negative regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Orthologous to human PBK (PDZ binding 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 rat Pbk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
