DCLK1
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doublecortin-like kinase protein 1 (DCLK1)[5][6][7][8] is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DCLK1 gene.[5][6][8] Its C-terminal domain in rats is expressed independently from an alternative transcript, cpg16, and can function alone as a serine/threonine protein kinase that is cyclic AMP dependent.[9][10]
