About Plk1

Primary_assembly 1: 176,716,420-176,726,400 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 186 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 13.3), Spleen (RPKM 69.1) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; anaphase-promoting complex binding activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions and response to Antibiotic. Acts upstream of or within protein phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and spindle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary bladder Cancer. Orthologous to human PLK1 (polo like kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
