Entrez ID 4751
Gene name NIMA related kinase 2
Gene symbol NEK2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HsPK21NEK2ANLK1PPP1R111RP67
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q32.3
Summary This gene encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. This protein is localized to the centrosome, and undetectable during G1 phase, but accumulates progressively throughout the S phase, reaching maximal levels in lat
