STK17B
Description
The STK17B (serine/threonine kinase 17b) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
STK17B phosphorylates myosin light chains, potentially playing a role in cellular processes related to muscle contraction. It also acts as a positive regulator of apoptosis, promoting programmed cell death. This information is supported by experimental evidence.
STK17B is also known as DRAK2.
