Background
This gene encodes a member of the testis-specific serine/threonine kinase family. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in spermatogenesis via stimulation of the CREB/CRE responsive pathway through phosphorylation of the cAMP responsive element binding protein transcription factor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010],catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activated by phosphorylation on Thr-197, potentially by autophosphorylation.,function:May be involved in a signaling pathway during male germ cell development or mature sperm function (By similarity). Phosphorylates CREB1 on Ser-133 and stimulates downstream signaling.,PTM:Autophosphorylated (By similarity). Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed only in the testis.,
