brp (Drosophila)
Increasing gene copy provoked sleep in a dose-dependent manner (two to three to four
times). Reducing gene copy only decreased sleep in short sleep mutants.

The kinase genes referenced were mainly studied comparing mice with or without that gene.
The rest of the review focuses on the proteins/protein interactions that gene encodes.

SIK3
Screening of >8000 mice identified a genetic difference in a sleepy mice with an exon
skipped in SIK3. This exon is a phosphorylation site on SIK3 (S551). This phosphorylation
site is inferred to reduce/regulate the activity of SIK3.
