Entrez ID 284086
Gene name NIMA related kinase 8
Gene symbol NEK8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
JCKNEK12ANPHP9PKD8RHPD2
Chromosome 17
Chromosome location 17q11.2
Summary This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse
