Casein kinase 2α1 (CSNK2A1) encodes the protein kinase CK2α, which phosphorylates various proteins and regulates biological processes such as the cell cycle and apoptosis, also affecting the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, which plays an important role in cancer (Chua et al., 2017; Gao and Wang, 2006). This evidence concerns the gene WEE1 and cancer.
