Summary
SPEG (striated muscle enriched protein kinase, HGNC:16901) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q35, encoding Striated muscle preferentially expressed protein kinase (Q15772). Isoform 3 may have a role in regulating the growth and differentiation of arterial smooth muscle cells.
This gene encodes a protein with similarity to members of the myosin light chain kinase family. This protein family is required for myocyte cytoskeletal development. Along with the desmin gene, expression of this gene may be controlled by the desmin locus control region. Mutations in this gene are associated with centronuclear myopathy 5.

Function. Isoform 3 may have a role in regulating the growth and differentiation of arterial smooth muscle cells.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MTM1. Isoform 3 is found as a monomer or homodimer.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is preferentially expressed in striated muscle. Non-kinase form such as isoform 3 is predominantly expressed in the aorta. Isoform 3 appears to be expressed only in highly differentiated ASMC in normal vessel walls and down-regulated in dedifferentiated ASMC in vivo. In response to vascular injuries ASMC dedifferentiate and change from a quiescent and contractile phenotype to a proliferative and synthetic phenotype. This proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells is one of the most prominent features of atherosclerosis.
Post-translational modifications. May be autophosphorylated.
Disease relevance. Myopathy, centronuclear, 5 (CNM5) [MIM:615959] A form of centronuclear myopathy, a congenital muscle disorder characterized by progressive muscular weakness and wasting involving mainly limb girdle, trunk, and neck muscles. It may also affect distal muscles. Weakness may be present during childhood or adolescence or may not become evident until the third decade of life. Ptosis is a frequent clinical feature. The most prominent histopathologic features include high frequency of centrally located nuclei in muscle fibers not secondary to regeneration, radial arrangement of sarcoplasmic strands around the central nuclei, and predominance and hypotrophy of type 1 fibers. CNM5 features include severe neonatal hypotonia with respiratory insufficiency, difficulty feeding, and delayed motor development. Some patients die in infancy, and some develop dilated cardiomyopathy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. Isoform 3 is quickly down-regulated in response to vascular injury, when ASMC cells change from a quiescent to a proliferative phenotype.
Miscellaneous. Expression is under the tight control of the locus control region (LCRs). Produced by alternative promoter usage. Produced by alternative splicing.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 18 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.
