PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	SNF1 homology domain (SNH)
	a 260-AAs domain predicted to have serine/threonine kinase activity

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	protein kinase superfamily
	CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family
	Snf1/AMPK family of kinases

CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule,centrosome
	intracellular,nucleus
text	nucleocytoplasmic distribution and is localized to the centrosome, as indicated by co-localization with gamma-tubulin

basic FUNCTION	could be regulating exocytosis and involved in disorders of the nervous system, development or in malignancies
	involved in mammary development and carcinogenesis in mouse, SNF1-related
	possible involvement in proliferative suppression of renal tubular cells
	nuclear and centrosomal targeting is specific, and is likely to be coupled to its catalytic activity
	may contribute to changes in the mammary gland that occur during pregnancy in response to ovarian hormones
	its kinase activity is required for mammary tumor cells to gain access to the circulation and metastasize
	metastasis suppressor for the basal breast cancer subtype

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts with Rabaptin-5, a protein which plays an important role in endocytosis
	disrupts the ability of PPP2R4 to bind to CFL1 while sparing its capacity to bind to other substrates such as ERK or AKT
