Definition of kinase in English: kinasenoun ˈkʌɪneɪzˈkinās Biochemistry usually with modifier An enzyme that catalyses the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a specified molecule. Example sentencesExamples - Protein kinases are enzymes that participate in signal transduction processes and, thus, in the control of cell growth.
- The consequence of these mutations is a cascade phosphorylation of certain serine/threonine protein kinases.
- Protein tyrosine kinases play fundamental roles in signal transduction pathways.
- Protein kinases turn on other enzymes by a chemical reaction called phosphorylation that adds phosphate tags to proteins.
- In general, protein kinases are enzymes that phosphorylate proteins, which then become activated.
Origin Early 20th century: from Greek kinein 'to move' + -ase.
