About Nek2

Summary

Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst development; mitotic nuclear division; and negative regulation of DNA binding activity. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome; midbody; and spindle pole. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 67. Orthologous to human NEK2 (NIMA related kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
