    Summary
    Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in animal organ morphogenesis; chromosome segregation; and regulation of hippo signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry and heart development. Predicted to be located in ciliary base and ciliary inversin compartment. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including centrosome; cilium; and nucleus. Used to study nephronophthisis 9. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephronophthisis 9 and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. Orthologous to human NEK8 (NIMA related kinase 8).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
