Sik2 - salt-inducible kinase 2

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction; protein autophosphorylation; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within insulin receptor signaling pathway and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human SIK2 (salt inducible kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
