NCIt synonyms : LKB1; STK11/LKB1 Protein; STK11; Renal Carcinoma Antigen NY-REN-19; hLKB1; Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase 11; Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase LKB1; Polarization-Related Protein LKB1; EC 2.7.11.1; Serine-Threonine Protein Kinase-11; Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase STK11; Liver Kinase B1;
NCIt definition : Serine/threonine-protein kinase STK11 (433 aa, 49 kDa) is encoded by the human STK11
gene. This protein plays a role in signal transduction and apoptosis.;
NCIt note : LKB1 physically associates with p53 and regulates specific p53-dependent apoptosis
pathways. LKB1 protein translocates to mitochondria during apoptosis. (OMIM);
