NCIt definition : Human ALPK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 4q25 and is approximately
157 kb in length. This allele, which encodes alpha-protein kinase 1 protein, plays
a role in serine/threonine-protein phosphorylation, pathogen-associated molecular
pattern metabolite (PAMP) recognition and the innate immune response. Mutation in
the gene is associated with ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve edema, splenomegaly,
anhidrosis, and migraine headache) syndrome.;
