LKB1
a S/T protein kinase of the CAMKL family. A tumor suppressor that helps control cell structure, polarity, apoptosis and energy homeostasis. Phosphorylates AGS3 (activator of G-protein signaling 3) GPR domains, regulating the interaction of GPR-containing proteins with G-proteins. A cytosolic protein complex comprised of LKB1, the pseudokinase STRAD, and the MO25 scaffold protein. Activates AMPK and several related protein kinases. AMPK plays a predominant role as the master regulator of cellular energy homeostasis, controlling downstream effectors that regulate cell growth and apoptosis in response to cellular ATP concentrations. The Lkb1/Strad/Mo25 complex can polarize single epithelial cells, leading to the formation of a brush border containing microvilli on the apical surface. Mutation in the corresponding gene causes Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by benign GI tract polyps and dark skin lesions of the mouth, hands and feet. A variety of other LKB1 gene mutations have been associated with the formation of sporadic cancers in several tissues. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
