Nek3 - NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related expressed kinase 3

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron projection morphogenesis; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of tubulin deacetylation. Predicted to be located in cell projection and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; intestine; and spleen. Orthologous to human NEK3 (NIMA related kinase 3).
