About Chek2

Chromosome 5: 110,987,845-111,022,011 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Broad expression in liver E14 (RPKM 9.9), liver E14.5 (RPKM 8.7) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to gamma radiation; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and PML body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to colocalize with chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; and liver. 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]
