Casein Kinase

Casein Kinase is an enzyme that helps regulate various cellular functions by adding phosphate groups to other proteins, a process called phosphorylation. This modification can change the activity, location, or interactions of the targeted proteins, influencing processes like cell growth, metabolism, and signaling pathways. Think of it as a molecular switch operator, turning certain proteins "on" or "off" to ensure cells function properly. Casein Kinase plays a vital role in maintaining healthy cellular operations and responding to internal and external signals.
