Casein Kinase II (CKII, CK2, phosvitin kinase, troponin T kinase, casein kinase G) is a ubiquitous serine/threonine protein kinase that is highly conserved and commonly found in eukaryotic cells (found in the cytoplasm and the nucleus). CKII is a heterotetramer that consists of two catalytic subunits (alpha, alpha-prime) and two regulatory beta subunits (1). CKII can utilize both GTP and ATP as the phosphate donor and phosphorylates threonine and serine residues. Therefore, CKII is a multifunctional protein kinase with broad range of substrates (e.g. c-Myc, c-Myb, c-Fos, c-Jun, p53, Rb, HPVE7) and it has been implicated in various cell functions/processes from cell transformation to mitosis.
