[Myotonin protein kinase]

Abstract

The mutation underlying myotonic dystrophy is the expansion of polymorphic CTG repeat in the 3'-noncoding region of the myotonin protein kinase (MtPK) gene mapping to chromosome 19q13.3. A full-length cDNA of human MtPK was cloned and expressed in COS-1 cells. MtPK is recovered from the COS cell extract as a 70 kDa protein, which coincides with the size deduced from the predicted amino acid sequence. Biochemical characteristics of MtPK expressed in COS cells and its expression are investigated.
