Facts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase BRSK1.
Also regulates neuron polarization by mediating phosphorylation of WEE1 in'Ser-642' in post-mitotic neurons, leading to down-regulate WEE1 action in polarized neurons. In neurons, localizes to synaptic vesicles and plays a role in neurotransmitter release, possibly by phosphorylating RIMS1.
