 Kinome

In molecular biology, biochemistry and cell signaling the kinome of an organism is the complete set of protein kinases encoded in its genome.Kinases are usually enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation reactions (of amino acids) and fall into several groups and families, e.g., those that phosphorylate the amino acids serine and threonine, those that phosphorylate tyrosine and some that can phosphorylate both, such as the MAP2K and GSK families.
