Function
- binds to & modulates brain Na+/K+ ATPase subunits ATP1B1 & ATP1B3
- role in regulation of electrical excitability & synaptic transmission
- may not display kinase activity
Structure
- the protein kinase domain is predicted to be catalytically inactive
- belongs to the protein kinase superfamily
- contains 1 protein kinase domain
- contains 1 PX (phox homology) domain
- contains 1 WH2 domain
Compartment
- cytoplasm, cell membrane
- associates with the plasma membrane
- isoform 3 is present throughout the cell
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=7
Expression
- widely expressed in almost all tissues examined
- not expressed in heart
- isoform 1 is highly expressed in brain, skeletal muscle, spleen & testis
- isoform 7 may not be expressed
