 Context examples 

A synthetic peptide targeting the substrates of casein kinase 2 (CK2), with potential antineoplastic activity.

(CK2-targeting Synthetic Peptide CIGB-300, NCI Thesaurus)

This species is nonmotile, non-spore forming catalase and pyrazinamidase positive, indole and urease negative, non-lipophilic, does not reduce nitrate, ferments glucose, sucrose and maltose, hydrolyzes hippurate, but not casein or gelatin.

(Corynebacterium minutissimum, NCI Thesaurus)

This species is nonmotile, non-spore forming, catalase and urease positive, oxidase and indole negative, reduces nitrate and nitrite, hydrolyzes hippurate and starch, but not gelatin or casein, and does not produce hydrogen sulfide.

(Corynebacterium pilosum, NCI Thesaurus)

Casein kinase 1 (CK1) also regulates DARPP-32 phosphorylation and dopamine signaling.

(CK1/CDK5 Regulation Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

Factors that regulate the cycle include casein kinase 1 epsilon (CK1e) that phosphorylates Per2 and induces its degradation.

(Circadian Rhythm Pathway BioCarta, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

An isolate comprised of the sodium or calcium salt of the glycoprotein casein, the primary protein found in milk and other dairy products, with anti-catabolic activity.

(Caseinate Protein Isolate, NCI Thesaurus)

Integrity of this complex is positively regulated by beta -catenin phosphorylation by casein kinase II, and dephosphorylation by protein tyrosine phosphatases.

(Adherens Junction Assembly Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)

This allele, which encodes casein kinase I isoform alpha protein, plays a role in the degradation of beta-catenin and is involved in the formation of gap junctions.

(CSNK1A1 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This allele, which encodes casein kinase II subunit alpha protein, is involved in inhibition of Wnt signaling and plays a role in both adherens and tight junction formation.

(CSNK2A1 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
