Serine/threonine-protein kinase SRPK1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SRPK1 gene.[3][4][5]

Function

This gene encodes a serine/arginine protein kinase specific for the SR (serine/arginine-rich domain) family of splicing factors. The protein localizes to the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It is thought to play a role in regulation of both constitutive and alternative splicing by regulating intracellular localization of splicing factors. A second alternatively spliced transcript variant for this gene has been described, but its full length nature has not been determined.[5]

Possible anti-cancer target

Some cancers are vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) dependant (for angiogenesis). SRPK1 activates (phosphorylates) VEGF splicing factor. SRPK1 inhibitors (e.g. 'SPHINX compounds' [6]) are being investigated as treatments for prostate cancer.[7][8]

SRPK1 enables angiogenesis, which is regulated by VEGF, which either initiates or inhibits vessel formation depending on alternative splicing. In human prostate cancer, levels of SRPK1 rose as a cancer becomes more aggressive. In a mouse model three doses per week of drugs designed to inhibit SRPK1 activity inhibitef tumor vasculature and growth.[9]

Interactions

SRPK1 has been shown to interact with:
