Kinase and Ubiquitin-associated domains
Protein Description
MAP/microtubule Affinity-regulating Kinase 3
Background
The protein encoded by MARK3 is activated by phosphorylation and in turn is involved in the phosphorylation of tau proteins MAP2 and MAP4. Microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 3 phosphorylates CDC25C on 'Ser-216'. It regulates localization and activity of some histone deacetylases by mediating phosphorylation of HDAC7, promoting subsequent interaction between HDAC7 and 14-3-3 and export from the nucleus.
