Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase PINK1, mitochondrial.
Targets PRKN to dysfunctional depolarized mitochondria through the phosphorylation of MFN2 (PubMed:23620051). Activates PRKN in two steps: (1) by mediating phosphorylation in'Ser-65' of PRKN and (2) mediating phosphorylation of ubiquitin, converting PRKN to its fully-active form (PubMed:24660806, PubMed:24751536, PubMed:24784582, PubMed:25527291).

Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle and testis, and at lower levels in brain, placenta, liver, kidney, pancreas, prostate, ovary and small intestine. Present in the embryonic testis from an early stage of development.
Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Mitochondrion inner membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Localizes mostly in mitochondrion and the 2 proteolytic processed fragments of 55 kDa and 48 kDa localize mainly in cytosol.
