Gene:
AP2 associated kinase 1
Gene ID:
199619
Symbol:
AAK1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Ser/Thr family of protein kinases SNF1 subfamily. There is strong evidence that this protein is the endogenous mu 2 kinase and plays a regulatory role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, including the regulation of fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis.
