“…Casein kinase 1 is a family of serine/threonine protein kinase, consisting of multiple isoforms encoded by separate genes (CK1a, b, g1, g2, g3, d and e) and has been implicated in the regulation of various cellular functions, including membrane transport, cell division, apoptosis, chromosome segregation and the circadian rhythm (reviewed by Knippschild et al, 2005). A CK1-related kinase in yeast, hrr25, is essential for DNA repair and can be complemented by its mammalian homologs CK1d and e isoforms (Hoekstra et al, 1994).…”
