ADCK2 (aarF domain containing kinase 2) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADCK2 gene. It is situated on chromosome 7 at the q34 location.

Function

ADCK2 is predicted to possess ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. The protein is predicted to be an integral part of the membrane.^[5]

Genomic context

The ADCK2 gene is located on chromosome 7q34. The genomic sequence spans 22,165 base pairs from 140,672,945 to 140,695,110 on the GRCh38.p14 primary assembly. It consists of 8 exons.^[5]

Expression

ADCK2 is ubiquitously expressed across various human tissues, with notable expression in skin and brain tissue, among others.^[5]

Clinical significance

Research indicates that ADCK2 may have therapeutic implications in diseases such as myopathy.^[6]
