Serine/threonine-protein kinase N1 (PKN1)

PKC-related serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in various processes like regulation of the intermediate filaments of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, tumor cell invasion and transcription regulation. Section of a signaling cascade that begins with the activation of the adrenergic receptor ADRA1B and contributes to the activation of MAPK14.

Regulates the cytoskeletal network by phosphorylating proteins like VIM and neurofilament proteins NEFH, NEFL and NEFM, leading to inhibit their polymerization. Phosphorylates'Ser-575','Ser-637' and'Ser-669' of MAPT/Tau, lowering its ability to bind to microtubules, resulting in disruption of tubulin assembly.
