==Kinase names and family members==
Two of SnRK2.6/OST1/SRK2E's three names originated from its membership in subclass III of the SnRK2 family of protein kinases. It was named SnRK2.6 by Hrabak et al.<ref>PMID:12805596</ref> and SRK2E by Umezawa et al.<ref>PMID: 19805022</ref>. SnRK2 stands for SNF1-related kinase group 2, which in Arabidopsis has 10 members. SNRK2s are members of the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase clade of protein kinases. The third name OST1 (open stomata 1)<ref>12468729</ref> is descriptive of the phenotype of plants bearing a gene mutation that produces an inactive protein kinase.

Two other family members in Arabidopsis, SNRK2.2/SRK2D and SnRK2.3/SRK2I, are activated by the ABA pathway in the same manner as SnRK2.6. Each of these kinases interacts with a member of clade A of the protein phosphatase 2C family - ABI1, HAB1 or HAB2. In rice homologs of these protein kinases are named SAPK8, SAPK9 and SAPK10.

SnRK2.6/OST1/SRK2E has a primary structure comprising an amino terminal [[Eukaryotic Protein Kinase Catalytic Domain]] and a C-terminal sequence that contains the SNRK2 box, which is unique to the SNRK2 family and required for activity<ref>PMID: 16766677</ref>. Its C-terminus also contains a sequence called the ABA box, which is found only in the family members that are responsive to ABA<ref>PMID: 16766677</ref>. The latter sequence is required for binding to PP2C<ref>PMID: 16766677</ref>, but is not seen in the crystal structure (why??) (see below).
