AKINB2

Full Name

SNF1-related protein kinase regulatory subunit beta-2

Keywords

KINB2; SNF1-related protein kinase regulatory subunit beta-2; AKIN subunit beta-2; AKINbeta2

Background

Regulatory subunit of the probable trimeric SNF1-related protein kinase (SnRK) complex, which may play a role in a signal transduction cascade regulating gene expression and carbohydrate metabolism in higher plants. The SnRK complex may also be involved in the regulation of fatty acid synthesis by phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and in assimilation of nitrogen by phosphorylating nitrate reductase.
