Dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DYRK1A gene.[5] Alternative splicing of this gene generates several transcript variants differing from each other either in the 5' UTR or in the 3' coding region.[6] These variants encode for at least five different isoforms.[7]

Function

DYRK1A is a member of the dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) family. This member contains a

nuclear targeting signal sequence, a protein kinase domain, a leucine zipper motif, and a highly conservative 13-consecutive-histidine repeat. It catalyzes its autophosphorylation on serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. It may play a significant role in a signaling pathway regulating cell proliferation and may be involved in brain development. This gene is a homolog of the Drosophila mnb (minibrain) gene.[7]

DYRK1A has also been shown to modulate plasma homocysteine levesl in a mouse model of overexpression.[8]

Clinical significance

DYRK1A is localized in the

autism spectrum disorder.[9]

Interactions

DYRK1A has been shown to

In popular culture

Rosie, the protagonist of BBC sitcom There She Goes, has the DYRK1A gene, as revealed in the show's final episode.[11]
