Protein Kinase Specificity
Matrix of observed frequency (%) of amino acids in aligned protein substrate phosphosites

Matrix Type:
Predicted from the application of the Kinexus Kinase Substrate Predictor Version 2.0 algorithm, which was trained with over 10,000 kinase-protein substrate pairs and 8,000 kinase-peptide substrate pairs.

Disease Linkage
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.08 % in 24433 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is very similar (+ 4% higher) to the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 3 in 20,248 cancer specimens
Comments:
Only 2 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
