Abstract excerpt
The casein kinase 1 (Csnk1) family of serine/threonine kinases regulates dopamine receptor (DR) signaling by phosphorylating the 32-kDa dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein DARPP-32, leading to inhibition of protein phosphatase 1 and a shift in the phosphorylation state of many downstream proteins. By modulating DR-activated phosphorylation cascades, Csnk1 plays a central role in neuropsychiatric disorders...
