WNK3 Proteins and Enzymes

Members of the 'with no lysine' (WNK) kinase family, such as WNK3, are serine-threonine protein kinases thatlack the almost invariant catalytic lysine in subdomain II, which is important for binding ATP in the catalytic site.Instead, these kinases have a conserved lysine in subdomain I that is thought to provide this function (Holden et al.,2004 (PubMed 15194194)).(supplied by OMIM)
