Biology:DCLK1

From HandWiki

Doublecortin-like kinase protein 1 (DCLK1)[1][2][3][4] is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DCLK1 gene.[1][2][4] Its C-terminal domain in rats is expressed independently from an alternative transcript, cpg16, and can function alone as a serine/threonine protein kinase that is cyclic AMP dependent.[5][6]

DCLK1 expression is a marker for tuft cells, a type of chemosensory cell of the intestinal epithelium.[3][7]
