Plk4 - polo like kinase 4 Gene
Also Known as Sak; Stk18; 1700028H20
Species: Mus musculus
About Plk4
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 12 phenotypes. Broad expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 11.4), liver E14 (RPKM 9.6) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein localizes to the nucleolus during G2, to centrosomes during G2/M, and to the cleavage furrow during cytokinesis. It is required for progression through Mitosis, cell survival, and embryonic development. The mouse genome contains a pseudogene similar to this gene. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
