ALPK3

ALPK3, also known as alpha-protein kinase 3, is a protein-coding gene. It encodes a serine/threonine kinase, a type of enzyme that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways. The ALPK3 protein is involved in regulating various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and survival.

Studies have indicated that ALPK3 is expressed in a wide range of tissues, with particularly high levels found in the brain and testes. Its precise functions are still under investigation, but it is thought to be involved in the development and maintenance of the nervous system. Aberrant ALPK3 activity has been linked to certain diseases, including some forms of cancer and neurological disorders, suggesting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Research into ALPK3 continues to explore its detailed molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications.
