Gene information for NEK8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID284086
Official gene symbolNEK8
Full nameNIMA (never in mitosis gene a)- related kinase 8
Aliases,JCK,MGC138445,NEK12A,NPHP9,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
