Catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. ,cofactor:Magnesium or manganese. ,Disease:Defects in STK11 are a cause of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) [MIM:175200]. PJS is a rare hereditary disease in which there is predisposition to benign and malignant tumors of many organ systems. PJS is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by melanocytic macules of the lips , multiple gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps and an increased risk for various neoplasms , including gastrointestinal cancer. ,Disease:Defects in STK11 have been associated with testicular tumors [MIM:273300]. It includes germ cell tumor (GCT) or testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) . ,enzyme regulation:Activated by binding of a complex consisting of CAB39 and STRAD or CAB39 and ALS2CR2. ,Function:Essential role in G1 cell cycle arrest. Phosphorylates and activates members of the AMPK-related subfamily of protein kinases. Tumor suppressor. ,online information:PJS entry ,PTM:Phosphorylated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase. ,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. ,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. LKB1 subfamily. ,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain. ,subcellular location:Relocates to the cytoplasm when bound to CAB39 and STRAD or CAB39 and ALS2CR2. ,subunit:Found in a ternary complex composed of SMAD4 , STK11 and STK11IP. Interacts with SMAD4 and STK11IP. ,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed. Strongest expression in testis and fetal liver. ,
