NCIt definition : Human SPEG wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q35 and is approximately
59 kb in length. This allele, which encodes striated muscle preferentially expressed
protein kinase protein, plays a role in serine/threonine phosphorylation and muscle
cell development. Mutation of the gene is associated with centronuclear myopathy 5.;
