NCIt definition : Serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK2 (926 aa, 104 kDa) is encoded by the human SIK2
gene. This protein plays a role in protein phosphorylation that affects insulin signaling
and mitosis.;
NCIt note : Therapies that interfere with activity of serine/threonine-protein kinase SIK2 results
in loss of normal mitotic spindle-driven chromosome separation and increased sensitivity
to antitumor drugs.;
