Dyrk1a - dual-specificity tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1a Gene

Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; protein self-association; and Tau Protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator; negative regulation of microtubule polymerization; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including axon; cytoskeleton; and dendrite. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Down syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Down syndrome; autism spectrum disorder; autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability 7; and intellectual disability. Orthologous to human DYRK1A (dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
