PBK, TOPK, Lymphokine-activated killer T-cell-originated protein kinase, Cancer/testis antigen 84, CT84, MAPKK-like protein kinase, Nori-3, PDZ-binding kinase, Spermatogenesis-related protein kinase, SPK, T-LAK cell-originated protein kinas
This genes encodes a serine/threonine kinase related to the dual specific mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK) family. Evidence suggests that mitotic phosphorylation is required for its catalytic activity. This mitotic kinase may be involved in the activation of lymphoid cells and support Ticular functions, with a suggested role in the process of spermatogenesis.
