Target Background

Function
Casein kinases are enzymes that preferentially phosphorylate acidic proteins, such as caseins. They exhibit broad substrate specificity and can phosphorylate a wide range of proteins. CSNK1A1, also known as casein kinase 1 alpha, participates in various cellular processes, including Wnt signaling, phosphorylation of CTNNB1 (beta-catenin) at Ser-45, potential phosphorylation of PER1 and PER2, chromosome segregation during mitosis, and regulation of epithelial cell migration through keratin cytoskeleton disassembly.
