Background:  MARK2 refers to MAP/microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 isoform a [Homo sapiens]. EMK (ELKL Motif Kinase) is a small family of ser/thr protein kinases involved in the control of cell polarity, microtubule. stability and cancer. Several cDNA clones have been isolated that encoded two isoforms of the human ser/thr protein kinase EMK1 called MARK2. These isoforms were characterized by the presence of a 162-bp alternative exon that gave rise to two forms, one containing the exon and the other one lacking it. Both forms were found to be coexpressed in a number of selected cell lines and tissue samples. Human MARK2 was shown to be encoded by a single mRNA ubiquitously expressed. This transcription variant includes the alternative exon in the coding region and therefore codes for a longer protein. Multiple splice variants exist for this protein.
