PASK, Official Symbol PASKprovided by HGNC Official Full Name PAS domain containing serine/threonine kinaseprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17270 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000115687 MIM:607505; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17270 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as STK37; PASKIN Summary This gene encodes a member of the serine/threonine kinase family that contains two PAS domains. Expression of this gene is regulated by glucose, and the encoded protein plays a role in the regulation of insulin gene expression. Downregulation of this gene may play a role in type 2 diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
