Short Name | MAST2 |
description | Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (MAST2, also known as MAST205) belongs to the MAST family, which is characterised by containing a serine/threonine kinase domain and a PDZ (postsynaptic density protein-95/discs large/zona occludens-1) domain []. MAST2 regulates lipopolysaccharide-induced IL-12 synthesis in macrophages by forming a complex with TRAF6, resulting in the inhibition of TRAF6 NF-kappa-B activation [, ]. It localises in the DAPC/UAPC, which is found within the postsynaptic region of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and central synapses []. It also functions in spermatid maturation in mammals []. |
