Protein serine kinase H2 (PSKH2) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that belongs to a larger family of kinases with diverse roles in cellular signaling. As an enzyme, PSKH2 catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to specific serine or threonine residues on target proteins. This post-translational modification can alter the activity, interactions, or localization of these proteins, thereby modulating various cellular processes.Although the full spectrum of PSKH2's biological functions is not completely understood, its kinase activity suggests it could play a role in regulating the cell cycle, DNA repair, apoptosis, and possibly other signaling pathways that are critical for cell proliferation and survival. Kinases like PSKH2 are often part of larger signaling cascades, where they can act as on/off switches for different signaling pathways in response to extracellular or intracellular stimuli.
The substrate specificity of PSKH2, as well as its particular interaction partners and regulatory mechanisms, are areas of ongoing research. Understanding these aspects is crucial for elucidating its function in physiological contexts, as well as in pathological conditions. Kinases often have multiple substrates and can be involved in cross-talk between signaling pathways, which adds complexity to their study.PSKH2's expression patterns, activity regulation by phosphorylation or other post-translational modifications, and its participation in protein complexes are all factors that could provide insight into its role in health and disease. As with many kinases, dysregulation of PSKH2's activity has the potential to contribute to disease states, including cancer, making it a potential target for intervention.
