Analysis of CSNK2A3 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2402-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: casein kinase 2 alpha 3
Also known as: CSNK2A1P
This gene encodes a protein that is highly similar to the casein kinase II alpha protein. Casein kinase II is a serine/threonine protein kinase complex that phosphorylates numerous substrates including casein. The alpha subunit is the catalytic component of the complex. Mutations in this gene may be associated with a susceptibility to lung cancer. There are contradictory views among published reports of this gene as to whether or not it is a protein-coding gene or a processed pseudogene.
