casein kinase 2-alpha chain (CSNK2A1)

Function

• enzyme catalytic subunit of casein kinase 2
• the alpha & alpha' chains of casein kinase 2 are catalytically active by themselves, structurally analogous, but encoded by separate genes
• interacts with RNPS1

Structure

• belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, Ser/Thr protein kinase family, CK2 subfamily
• contains 1 protein kinase domain

More general terms

• serine/threonine kinase
• enzyme catalytic subunit
• nuclear protein
