Serine/threonine-protein kinase ULK1 is an enzyme
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

 that in humans is encoded by the ULK1 gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions

ULK1 has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

GABARAP
Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-associated protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GABARAP gene.A study has screened 2000 participants representing more than 600 families of smokers and examined different genes showing linkage to nicotine addiction...

, SYNGAP1
SYNGAP1
Synaptic Ras GTPase activating protein 1 homolog , also known as SYNGAP1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SYNGAP1 gene. SYNGAP1 is a ras GTPase-activating protein that is critical for cognition and synapse function. Mutations in humans cause mental retardation.- Function :Unc51.1 and...
