catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,caution:Cys-224 is present instead of the conserved Lys which is expected to be an active site residue. Lys-207 appears to fulfill the required catalytic function.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activation requires autophosphorylation of Ser-356. Phosphorylation of Ser-352 also promotes increased activity.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WNK subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,tissue specificity:Predominantly expressed in heart, brain and colon.,
Cytoplasm . Cell membrane .
Expressed in various cancer cell lines (at protein level). Predominantly expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and colon.
