WNK2 (WNK Lysine Deficient Protein Kinase 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with WNK2 include Gastric Cardia Carcinoma. Among its related pathways are Transport of glucose and other sugars, bile salts and organic acids, metal ions and amine compounds and Ion channel transport. The protein encoded by WNK2 is a cytoplasmic serine-threonine kinase that belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. The protein plays an important role in the regulation of electrolyte homeostasis, cell signaling survival, and proliferation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
