Astyanax mexicanus      AGC/PKN


※ PKN family introduction

    PKN, also known as protein kinase C related kinase, belongs to the AGC group. PKNs are Serine/Threonine protein kinases which share a C-terminal catalytic domain homologous to PKC members and a N-terminal unique regulatory region containing antiparallel coiled-coil domains (ACC domains). AGC domains act as binding interface associated with others proteins including anchoring protein CG-NAP. Between the C-terminal and N-terminal region, a C2-like region can be found in PKNs, which functions as an auto-inhibitory region. PKN localizes primarily in the cytosolic fraction and is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cytoskeletal regulation, cell adhesion, glucose transport, regulation of meiotic maturation and embryonic cell cycles and tumorigenesis (1).
