An investigation into the regulation of transcription of the splice factor kinase gene SRPK1 in prostate and leukaemia cancer cell lines (2019)
Thesis

The SRPK1 gene encodes a protein kinase that phosphorylates a class of splice factors called serine/arginine-rich proteins (SR proteins) modifying their ability to regulate alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Studies have linked high SRPK1 levels to tumou...
