Highlight Detail
Serum- and Glucocorticoid-Inducible Kinase 1 (SGK1) Increases Neurite Formation through Microtubule Depolymerization by SGK1 and by SGK1 Phosphorylation of Tau.
Dr. Lee, Eminy H.Y.
Mol. Cell. Biol., Sep 18, 2006Serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1) is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family that regulates a variety of cell functions. Recently, SGK1 was shown to increase dendritic growth, but the mechanism is unknown.
