Gene: PASK

Alternate names for this Gene: PASKIN|STK37

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family that contains two PAS domains. Expression of this gene is regulated by glucose, and the encoded protein plays a role in the regulation of insulin gene expression. Downregulation of this gene may play a role in type 2 diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q37.3

Description of this Gene: PAS domain containing serine/threonine kinase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
