Nek6 - NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related expressed kinase 6

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and kinesin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome segregation; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of mitotic metaphase/anaphase transition. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process; cell division; and phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NEK6 (NIMA related kinase 6).
