General annotation (Comments)

Function

Critical to the modulation of cardiac contractility and to the maintenance of proper cardiac conduction activity. Phosphorylates phospholamban.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor

Magnesium.

Enzyme regulation

Activated in response to G protein second messengers. Maintained in an inactive conformation by the negative autoregulatory C-terminal coiled-coil region. Coiled-coil mediated oligomerization correlated with enhanced catalytic activity as is proteolytically cleavage near the C-terminus.

Tissue specificity

Most isoforms are expressed in many tissues including heart, skeletal muscle, liver and brain, except for isoform 2 which is only found in the heart and skeletal muscle, and isoform 14 which is only found in the brain, with high levels in the striatum, cerebellar cortex and pons.

Involvement in disease

Defects in DMPK are the cause of myotonic dystrophy 1 (DM1) [MIM:160900]; also known as Steinert disease. DM is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by myotonia, muscle wasting in the distal extremities, cataract, hypogonadism, defective endocrine functions, male baldness, and cardiac arrhythmias. DM patients show decreased levels of kinase expression inversely related to repeat length. The minimum estimated incidence is 1 in 8'000 live births. DM1 is caused by a CTG expansion in the 3'-UTR of the DMPK gene. The repeat length usually increases in successive generations, but not always.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. DMPK subfamily.

Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Sequence caution

Ref.6 sequence differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 632.

This entry describes 13 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q09013-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q09013-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     1-99: Missing.
Isoform 5 (identifier: Q09013-5)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     236-285: Missing.
