Casein kinase II is a serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates acidic proteins such as casein . It is involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle control, apoptosis, and circadian rhythm. The kinase exists as a tetramer and is composed of an alpha, an alpha-prime, and two beta subunits. The alpha subunits contain the catalytic activity while the beta subunits undergo autophosphorylation. The protein encoded by this gene represents the alpha subunit. Multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2018]
A study in mice demonstrated that the CSNK2A1 transcript, a pro-apoptotic kinase, increased in relative abundance within 0.5 hours postmortem [Pozhitkov et al. DOI:10.1098/rsob.160267]. A study in rats (Rattus norvegicus) demonstrated that the CSNK2A1 (Csnk2a1) was significantly altered in expression on day 7 following a 20% total body surface area burn injury, as identified through microarray analysis [Jayaraman et al. DOI:10.1016/j.jss.2007.05.025].
