Also known as: Pkcd
Summary: Enables TIR domain binding activity; diacylglycerol-dependent, calcium-independent serine/threonine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including D-aspartate import across plasma membrane; positive regulation of D-glucose import; and positive regulation of MAP kinase activity. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Used to study brain ischemia and hypertension. Biomarker of hyperinsulinism; hypertension; muscular disease; obesity; and restrictive cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 3 and steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human PRKCD (protein kinase C delta).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
