NCIt synonyms : DM1 Protein Kinase; EC 2.7.11.1; MT-PK; DMK; DMPK; DM-Kinase; Myotonic Dystrophy Protein Kinase;
NCIt definition : Myotonin-protein kinase (629 aa, 69 kDa) is encoded by the human DMPK gene. This
protein is involved in the maintenance of skeletal muscle structure and function.;
NCIt note : Homodimerization of myotonin-protein kinase stimulates its activity and its substrates
include the following: myogenin, the beta-subunit of the L-type calcium channels,
and phospholemman. (EntrezGene and UniProt);
