Biology:DIPK1B
DIPK1B or divergent protein kinase domain 1B is a protein that in humans is coded by the DIPK1B gene.[1] It is a member of the FAM69 family, which consists of three members across all vertebrates other than fish. Is is also known as FAM69B.[2]
Gene

The DIPK1B gene is found on human chromosome 9, in the 9q34.3 band.[2] The gene is located on the plus strand and spans 12,275 bases.[3] The gene contains five exons. It is a member of FAM69, a family of genes with three members, DIPK1A, DIPK1B, and DIPK1C.[4] This family is present in all vertebrates, with slight differences in fish, and orthologs of highly conserved structure are found in all metazoa.[4]
Transcripts

In humans there is only one known DIPK1B transcript. The mRNA transcript of DIPK1B is 2358 bases long, and contains all five exons of the DIPK1B gene.[5]
Protein

Human DIPK1B has only one isoform. The resultant protein is 431 amino acids long, has an isoelectric point of 9, and has a predicted molecular weight of 48.6 kDa.[1][8] DIPK1B contains two distinct domains, a transmembrane domain and a protein kinase domain.[1]
Expression
DIPK1B exhibits variable ubiquitous expression at moderate to high levels.[9] Expression in the brain, heart, and lung is notably higher than in other tissues. [2]
Regulation
DIPK1B is localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum.[4] It is expected to undergo a number of post-translational modifications, including o-linked glycosylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation.[10]
