TESK2 Dual specificity protein kinase activity catalyzing autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of exogenous substrates on both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. Phosphorylates cofilin at 'Ser-3'. May play an important role in spermatogenesis. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Predominantly expressed in testis and prostate. Found predominantly in non-germinal Sertoli cells. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
