Gene summary | | This 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] |
