Dual specificity protein kinase CLK2 (CLK2)

Dual specificity kinase acting on both serine/threonine and tyrosine-containing substrates. Phosphorylates serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins of the spliceosomal complex.

May be a part of a network of regulatory mechanisms that enable SR proteins to control RNA splicing and can lead to redistribution of SR proteins from speckles to a diffuse nucleoplasmic distribution. Acts as a suppressor of hepatic gluconeogenesis and glucose output by repressing PPARGC1A transcriptional activity on gluconeogenic genes through its phosphorylation.
