TTK - TTK protein kinase Gene
Also Known as ESK; PYT; CT96; MPH1; MPS1; MPS1L1
Species: Homo sapiens
About TTK
This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 13.6), bone marrow (RPKM 6.1) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a dual specificity protein kinase with the ability to phosphorylate tyrosine, serine and threonine. Associated with cell proliferation, this protein is essential for chromosome alignment at the centromere during Mitosis and is required for centrosome duplication. It has been found to be a critical mitotic checkpoint protein for accurate segregation of chromosomes during Mitosis. Tumorigenesis may occur when this protein fails to degrade and produces excess centrosomes resulting in aberrant mitotic spindles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
