NEK8 - NIMA related kinase 8 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as JCK; NPHP9; RHPD2; NEK12A

Gene ID: 284086 | Gene type: protein coding

About NEK8

Cytogenetic location: 17q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:28,728,788-28,743,455 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 190 orthologues, 8 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 2.8), lymph node (RPKM 2.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse gene are associated with a disease phenotype that closely parallels the juvenile autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease in humans.
