Protein Kinases Phosphorylation Describe Role Regulation Gene Expression

Protein kinases are enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation, a process that modifies protein tertiary structure and function, often activating them. They are crucial regulators of cellular activity and are frequently activated by cAMP.

Front Describe the role of protein kinases in regulation of gene expression or protein activity.
Back Protein kinases - enzymes that catalyse phosphorylation of proteins
  • Phosphorylation changes tertiary structure and so the function of the protein - can activate them
  • Important regulators of cell activity
  • They are often activated by cAMP
