Overview:

CK1γ1 or casein kinase 1, gamma 1 is belonging to the most abundant serine/threonine kinase in eukaryotic cell extracts which is mainly involved in growth and morphogenesis of eukaryotic cells. Casein kinase 1, gamma 1 possesses a C-terminal most terminal sequence motif (MTM), which it shares with CSNK1G2 and CSNK1G3 which is associated with heterologous carboxy-terminal sequences (1). Casein kinase 1-gamma couples Wnt receptor activation to the cytoplasmic signal transduction apparatus (2).

Gene Aliases:

CK1G1; CSNK1G1; CKI-gamma 1
