Pask Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process; protein autophosphorylation; and regulation of glucagon secretion. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human PASK (PAS domain containing serine/threonine 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 Pask often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
