PRKY Anticuerpo(S-23): sc-130850

---

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of cellular functions in eukaryotes, including cell division, homeostasis and apoptosis. A group of proteins that are intimately involved in this process are the serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) protein kinases. PRKY (protein kinase, Y-linked) is a 277 amino acid member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and belongs to the subfamily of cAMP-dependent kinases. Encoded by a gene that is located near the pseudoautosomal region on chromosome Y, PRKY contains one protein kinase domain through which it catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of target proteins. Defects in the gene encoding PRKY are associated with sex reversal disorder, namely XX in males and XY in females.
