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.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)
- high expression level of MAST4 in most normal human tissues, with an exception of in testis, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocyte. (PMID:17086981)
- A protein encoded by this locus was found to be differentially expressed in postmortem brains from patients with atypical frontotemporal lobar degeneration. (PMID:22360420)
- Molecular studies incriminated different genes, mainly CACNA1H and MAST4. Since at least 2 susceptibility genes were likely shared by different populations, genetic factors involved in the majority of Tunisian Genetic generalized epilepsies families remain to be discovered. (PMID:29948376)
- Mast4 knockout shows the regulation of spermatogonial stem cell self-renewal via the FGF2/ERM pathway. (PMID:33219327)

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.
