Disease relevance of RKF1

Recombinant RKF1, produced in Escherichia coli, was found to have kinase activity with serine/threonine specificity in vitro [1].

High impact information on RKF1

The AtSERK1 protein is a plasma membrane-located LRR receptor-like serine threonine kinase that is transiently expressed during plant embryogenesis [2].
RNA blot analysis revealed that the RKF1 mRNA is highly expressed in stamens while RKF2 and RKF3 mRNAs are present at low levels in all organs examined [1].
In addition, when fused to a GUS reporter gene, the RKF1 promoter directed high GUS expression in pollen grains [1].
