Cdc2-like Kinase Inhibitors

The CLK (Cdc2-like kinase) family has four family members: CLK1/STY, CLK2, CLK3 and CLK4. CLKs are dual specificity protein kinases which are self-activated through autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues and phosphorylate their substrates on serine and threonine residues. All family members have N-terminal domains which are rich in serine and arginine residues. They also have a conserved EHLAMMERRIG sequence in the catalytic domain and are thus also known as LAMMER kinases.
