====== SIK1 ======
Salt-Inducible [[Kinase]] 1 (SIK1).

[[SIK1]] is crucial to regulating [[alcohol]]-induced [[microglia]]l [[apoptosis]], but also that the [[NF-κB signaling pathway]] is required for its activity. Overall, the results of Zhang et al., help elucidate mechanisms of [[alcohol induced neuroinflammation]]

This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that contains a ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain. The encoded protein is a member of the adenosine monophosphate-activated kinase (AMPK) subfamily of kinases that play a role in conserved signal transduction pathways. A mutation in this gene is associated with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy ((provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016)).

[[SIK1]] is verified as the direct target of [[miR 489]] and it is negatively regulated by miR-489. [[ENST01108]] also positively regulate SIKI and it promotes SIKI expression by suppressing miR-489. Taken together, the reciprocal repression of ENST011081 and miR-489 may be served as potential targets for cancer therapeutics in glioma
