WKP

Definition : Serine/threonine-protein kinase D1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRKD1 gene.

Members of the protein kinase D ( PKDs ) family function in many extracellular receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways.

ThePRKD1 / PRKCM gene encodes a cytosolic serine-threonine kinase that binds to the trans-Golgi network and regulates the fission of transport carriers specifically destined to the cell surface.
