Kinaaseihin is a Finnish term that translates to "kinases" in English. Kinases are a class of enzymes that play a crucial role in cellular signaling and metabolism. They function by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from a high-energy molecule, typically adenosine triphosphate (ATP), to a specific substrate molecule. This process is known as phosphorylation.
Phosphorylation is a fundamental mechanism for regulating the activity of proteins and other molecules within a
There are over 500 different types of kinases identified in the human genome, highlighting their diverse roles.
