Plk1 - polo like kinase 1 Gene
Also Known as Plk; STPK13
Species: Mus musculus
About Plk1
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 186 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 16 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver E14.5 (RPKM 39.9), liver E14 (RPKM 38.7) and 17 other tissues.
Summary
The Ser/Thr protein kinase encoded by this gene belongs to the CDC5/Polo subfamily. It is highly expressed during Mitosis and may play a role in DNA replication during S phase. This gene is expressed in all embryonic tissues, but restricted to thymus and ovaries in adult tissues. Homozygous knockout mice were embryonic lethal, suggesting that this gene is important for early embryonic development. This gene is thought to be a potential oncogene because it is overexpressed in a variety of tumors and tumor cell lines. Depletion of this protein in Cancer cells has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and suppress oncogenic transformation; hence, it is a target for Cancer therapy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
