Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 10783
Gene name NIMA related kinase 6
Gene symbol NEK6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
SID6-1512
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q33.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a kinase required for progression through the metaphase portion of mitosis. Inhibition of the encoded protein can lead to apoptosis. This protein also can enhance tumorigenesis by suppressing tumor cell senescence. Seve
