Background
This gene encodes a protein with a kinase-like domain and four ankyrin-like repeats. The encoded protein associates at the cell membrane with the cytoplasmic domain of beta integrins, where it regulates integrin-mediated signal transduction. Activity of this protein is important in the epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and over-expression of this gene is implicated in tumor growth and metastasis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013],catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,domain:A PH-like domain is involved in phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding.,enzyme regulation:Stimulated rapidly but transiently by both cell fibronectin interactions, as well as by insulin, in a PI3-K-dependent manner, likely via the binding of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 with a PH-like domain of ILK.,function:Receptor-proximal protein kinase regulating integrin-mediated signal transduction. May act as a mediator of inside-out integrin signaling. Focal adhesion protein part of the complex ILK-PINCH. This complex is considered to be one of the convergence points of integrin- and growth factor-signaling pathway. Could be implicated in mediating cell architecture, adhesion to integrin substrates and anchorage-dependent growth in epithelial cells. Phosphorylates beta-1 and beta-3 integrin subunit on serine and threonine residues, but also AKT1 and GSK3B.,PTM:Autophosphorylated on serine residues.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 5 ANK repeats.,subunit:Interacts with cytoplasmic domain of beta 1 subunit of integrin. Could also interacts with beta 2, beta 3 and/or beta 5 subunit of integrin. Interacts (via ANK repeats) with LIMS1 and LIMS2. Interacts with parvins and probably TGFB1I1.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in heart followed by skeletal muscle, pancreas and kidney. Weakly expressed in placenta, lung and liver.,
