Target Information

Gene Name
NEK2
Gene ID
UniProt No.
Gene Function
Protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. Integral component of the mitotic spindle-assembly checkpoint which is necessary for proper chromosome segregation during metaphase-anaphase transition. Required for association of MAD2L1 to kinetochore. Phosphorylates SGOL1. May have a role at the G2-M transition. May also play a role in meiosis. Isoform 1 but not isoform 2 appears to play a role in centrosome splitting. Isoform 1 phosphorylates and activates NEK11 in G1/S-arrested cells. Isoform 2, which is not present in the nucleolus, does not.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. NEK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. NIMA subfamily.Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
Post-translational Modifications
It is unsure whether Thr-170 or Ser-171 is phosphorylated.
