Also known as KIAA0303

Summary

MAST4 (microtubule associated serine/threonine kinase family member 4, HGNC:19037) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q12.3, encoding Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase 4 (O15021).

This gene encodes a member of the microtubule-associated serine/threonine protein kinases. The proteins in this family contain a domain that gives the kinase the ability to determine its own scaffold to control the effects of their kinase activities. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 48 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
