Type: | Domain | Name: | FAST kinase leucine-rich |
Description: | This entry represents a conserved region of eukaryotic Fas-activated serine/threonine (FAST) kinases that contains several conserved leucine residues. FAST kinase is rapidly activated during Fas-mediated apoptosis, when it phosphorylates TIA-1, a nuclear RNA-binding protein that has been implicated as an effector of apoptosis []. Note that many family members are hypothetical proteins. | Short Name: | FAST_Leu-rich |
