catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,function:Activated during M phase. Required for chromosome segregation at metaphase-anaphase transition and therefore for mitotic progression. Inhibition of activity results in apoptosis.,PTM:Autophosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. NEK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. NIMA subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitous, with highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle.,
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Colocalizes with APBB1 at the nuclear speckles. Colocalizes with PIN1 in the nucleus. Colocalizes with ATF4, CIR1, ARHGAP33, ANKRA2, CDC42, NEK9, RAD26L, RBBP6, RPS7, TRIP4, RELB and PHF1 in the centrosome. Localizes to spindle microtubules in metaphase and anaphase and to the midbody during cytokinesis.
Ubiquitous, with highest expression in heart and skeletal muscle.
