Gene: CLK3

Alternate names for this Gene: PHCLK3|PHCLK3/152

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein belonging to the serine/threonine type protein kinase family. This protein is a nuclear dual-specificity kinase that regulates the intranuclear distribution of the serine/arginine-rich (SR) family of splicing factors. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Related pseudogenes are located on chromosomes 1 and 9.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q24.1

Description of this Gene: CDC like kinase 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
