Dual serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DSTYKgene.[1][2]
This protein is also known as the Dusty protein kinase and the Receptor interacting protein 5 (RIP5).
This gene encodes a dual serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinase which is expressed in multiple tissues. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found, but the biological validity of some variants has not been determined.[2]
In melanocytic cells RIPK5 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[3]
