PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains

conserved kinase domains typical of the superfamily of Ser/Thr kinases

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Stk22b

Homologene

FAMILY

testis-specific serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) kinase family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	serine/threonine kinase, involved in spermatogenesis (see D22S1572)
	might play a role in sperm function (as other members of this family)
	TSSK1B and TSSK2 may perform at least partly differential functions
