Gene data

NEK2
Name
NIMA related kinase 2
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
HsPK21, NEK2A, NLK1, PPP1R111, RP67

This gene encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. This protein is localized to the centrosome, and undetectable during G1 phase, but accumulates progressively throughout the S phase, reaching maximal levels in late G2 phase. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms with distinct C-termini have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011].
