TTBK1 tau tubulin kinase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84630)

Symbol: TTBK1

Full name: tau tubulin kinase 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BDTK

Summary: Summary:This gene belongs to the casein kinase 1 superfamily. The encoded protein is a neuron-specific, serine/threonine and tyrosine kinase, which regulates phosphorylation of tau, a protein that associates with microtubule assemblies and stabilizes them. Genetic variants in this gene are associated with Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
