NEK1: Proteins and Enzymes

Belonging to the NEK Ser/Thr protein kinase family, NEK1 plays an important role in the cell by responding to DNA damage. Molecular functions for NEK1 include protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein tyrosine kinase activity, protein binding and ATP binding. More specifically, NEK1 is involved in cell cycle regulation, and the protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase which is found in a centrosomal complex with FEZ1. Additionally, NEK1 also appears to possess ...
