About Nek8

Summary

Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in animal organ morphogenesis; chromosome segregation; and regulation of hippo signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry and heart development. Predicted to be located in ciliary base and ciliary inversin compartment. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including centrosome; cilium; and nucleus. Used to study nephronophthisis 9. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephronophthisis 9 and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. Orthologous to human NEK8 (NIMA related kinase 8).
