About ULK2

Cytogenetic location: 17p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:19,770,830-19,867,936 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in testis (RPKM 16.5), brain (RPKM 7.4) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a serine/threonine kinase in C. elegans which is involved in axonal elongation. The structure of this protein is similar to the C. elegans protein in that both proteins have an N-terminal kinase domain, a central proline/serine rich (PS) domain, and a C-terminal (C) domain. The gene is located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.
