Anti-HIPK3 (Homeodomain Interacting Protein Kinase 3, Androgen Receptor-interacting Nuclear Protein

HIPK3, a mammalian homolog of YAK1, is a novel 130kD nuclear co-factor that belongs to the HIPK protein family. Members of this family localize to nuclear speckles and consist of an evolutionarily conserved protein kinase domain and a homeoprotein-interacting domain. Physiological functions of HIPK3 have been predicted in different cell signaling pathways including transcriptional co-repression, cell differentiation, growth suppression, steroidogenesis and apoptosis. Research suggests that HIPK3 is a FADD-interacting protein kinase found to phosphorylate FADD and promote its binding to Fas, thereby inhibiting Fas-mediated Jun NH (2)-terminal kinase activation. HIPK3 also has been found to phosphorylate JNK and c-JUN, thus enhancing SF-1 activity for CYP11A1 transcription. HIPK3 plays a key role in cAMP-dependent signaling pathway.
