    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • may regulate epithelial morphogenesis during mammalian kidney development, and plays a role in cellular migration
  • can modulate the cAMP-mediated signal transduction pathway by preferential binding to the regulatory subunit type I (RIalpha) of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and by phosphorylating the type II regulatory subunit in the absence of cAMP
  • stimulates epithelial branching morphogenesis by activating cell migration and support a role for this kinase in the regulation of nephrogenesis and of collecting system development in the fetal kidney
  • with SMAD6 are required for PMA-induced cell attachment and spreading
  • signal-transduction protein required for macrophage differentiation
  • can restore normal function to PKD1-deficient kidneys and have implications for the development of preventative therapy for PKD1
  • cAMP-dependent kinase, regulator of epithelial morphogenesis during kidney development
  • stimulates endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and vascular-like structure formation, which are the three essential processes for angiogenesis

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to and phosphorylates Polycystin-1 (PKD1)
  • interacting with PKD1 and PIN1 (may mediate the function of PRKX in kidney development)
  • interaction of PRKX with PIN1, MAGI1 and BAG3 could contribute to the stimulating role of PRKX in angiogenesis
