Gene information for Plk4 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID20873
Official gene symbolPlk4
Full namepolo-like kinase 4 (Drosophila)
Aliases1700028H20,AI385771,Sak,Stk18
Gene summaryThis 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
