Entrez ID 9706
Gene name Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 2
Gene symbol ULK2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATG1BUnc51.2
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17p11.2
Summary This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a serine/threonine kinase in C. elegans which is involved in axonal elongation. The structure of this protein is similar to the C. elegans protein in that both proteins have an N-terminal kinase domain, a cen
