Description
This gene encodes a member of the CLK family of dual specificity protein kinases. CLK family members have been shown to interact with, and phosphorylate, serine- and arginine-rich (SR) proteins of the spliceosomal complex, which is a part of the regulatory mechanism that enables the SR proteins to control RNA splicing. Note that this gene is distinct from TELO2 gene (GeneID:9894), which shares CLK2 and hCLK2 symbol aliases in common with this gene, but encodes a protein that is involved in telomere length regulation
