Serine/threonine kinase 17a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the STK17A gene.[1]
Function
This gene is a member of the death-associated protein (DAP) kinase-related apoptosis-inducing protein kinase family and encodes an autophosphorylated nuclear protein with a protein kinase domain. The protein has apoptosis-inducing activity.[1]
