Striated Muscle Preferentially Expressed Protein Kinase - CISMeF
Striated Muscle Preferentially Expressed Protein KinaseNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Striated Muscle Preferentially Expressed Protein Kinase;
NCIt synonyms : APEG-1; EC 2.7.11.1; SPEG; Aortic Preferentially Expressed Protein 1; Striated Muscle Enriched Protein Kinase;
NCIt definition : Striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase (3267 aa, 354 kDa) is encoded
by the human SPEG gene. This protein is involved in cytoskeletal development in myocytes
and serine/threonine-protein kinase activity.;
NCIt note : 4 isoforms of striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase have been identified,
2 forms are expressed in striated muscle (termed SPEG-alpha and SPEG-beta), 1 in aortic
vascular smooth muscle cells (APEG-1) and 1 potentially in aorta and brain (BPEG).
The isoforms APEG-1 and BPEG do not include the kinase catalytic domains. (OMIM and
