Chek2 - checkpoint kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as Chk2; Rad53
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Chek2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues and is associated with 61 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 6.6), Spleen (RPKM 55.8) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to bisphenol A; positive regulation of anoikis; and regulation of cell cycle phase transition. Located in nucleus. Biomarker of urinary bladder Cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2; breast Cancer (multiple); colorectal cancer; osteosarcoma; and prostate Cancer. Orthologous to human CHEK2 (checkpoint kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
