Gene: NEK4
Alternate names for this Gene: NRK2|STK2|pp12301
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase required for normal entry into replicative senescence. The encoded protein also is involved in cell cycle arrest in response to double-stranded DNA damage. Finally, this protein plays a role in maintaining cilium integrity, and defects in this gene have been associated with ciliopathies.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p21.1
Description of this Gene: NIMA related kinase 4
Type of Gene: protein-coding
