Scientific Background: DMPK2 is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the AGC group and DMPK family. It is a protein kinase that is hypothesized to function as a downstream effector of CDC42 during cytoskeletal rearrangement. Agonist binding to the phorbol ester binding site disrupts this, releasing the kinase domain to allow N-terminus-mediated dimerization and kinase activation by transautophosphorylation. It is maintained in an inactive, closed conformation by an interaction between the kinase domain and the negative autoregulatory C-terminal coiled-coil region. DMPK2 also plays a role in the regulation of actin-myosin contractility through the modulation of MYPT1 and MLC2 activity, which are required for cell invasion and motility. In addition, mutations in the DMPK2 gene have been associated with myotonic dystrophy. The DMPK2 protein is highly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle, with little to no expression in the brain, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. The DMPK2 gene maps to chromosome 11q13.
