Target Information

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of cellular functions in eukaryotes, including cell division, homeostasis, and apoptosis.
A group of proteins involved in this process are the serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) protein kinases.
BMP2K (BMP2 inducible kinase), also known as BIKE, is a 1,161 amino acid nuclear protein that contains one protein kinase domain and belongs to the Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
It is thought to be involved in osteoblast differentiation and catalyzes ATP-dependent phosphorylation of bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs), which are essential for proper cartilage and bone formation.
Through its catalytic activity, BMP2K may play a role in signaling pathways that mediate bone growth and cellular differentiation.
Three isoforms of BMP2K exist due to alternative splicing events.
