STK11 has a molecular mass of approximately 50kDa and is the catalytically active unit of a heterotrimeric complex with STE20-related adaptor (STRAD) and mouse protein 25 (MO25). STRAD, a pseudokinase, induces a conformational change in STK11 to form the catalytically active state which transports STK11 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. MO25, a scaffold protein, strengthens the interaction between STK11 and STRAD, and as a result enhances the kinase activity of STK11 <ref>
