Nek2 - NIMA-related kinase 2

Predicted to enable protein kinase activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including centrosome separation; positive regulation of DNA metabolic process; and regulation of cell cycle process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst development; mitotic nuclear division; and negative regulation of DNA binding activity. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton; midbody; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to colocalize with kinetochore. 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]
