About This Section
Entrez Gene summary for ULK2 Gene:
This gene encodes a protein that is similar to a serine/threonine kinase in C. elegans which is involved in axonal
elongation. The structure of this protein is similar to the C. elegans protein in that both proteins have an
N-terminal kinase domain, a central proline/serine rich (PS) domain, and a C-terminal (C) domain. The gene is
located within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Alternatively spliced transcript variants
encoding the same protein have been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008)

GeneCards Summary for ULK2 Gene: 
ULK2 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 2) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with ULK2 include smith magenis syndrome, and alcoholism, and among its related super-pathways are Transcription Receptor-mediated HIF regulation and mTOR signalling. GO annotations related to this gene include protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding. An important paralog of this gene is PDIK1L.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ULK2_HUMAN, Q8IYT8
Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in autophagy in response to starvation. Acts upstream of
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase PIK3C3 to regulate the formation of autophagophores, the precursors of
autophagosomes. Part of regulatory feedback loops in autophagy: acts both as a downstream effector and a negative
regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) via interaction with RPTOR. Activated via
phosphorylation by AMPK, also acts as a negative regulator of AMPK through phosphorylation of the AMPK subunits
PRKAA1, PRKAB2 and PRKAG1. May phosphorylate ATG13/KIAA0652, FRS2, FRS3 and RPTOR; however such data need
additional evidences. Not involved in ammonia-induced autophagy or in autophagic response of cerebellar granule
neurons (CGN) to low potassium concentration. Plays a role early in neuronal differentiation and is required for
granule cell axon formation: may govern axon formation via Ras-like GTPase signaling and through regulation of
the Rab5-mediated endocytic pathways within developing axons
