NEK6 Antibody / NimA-related protein kinase 6

Serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NEK6 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a kinase required for progression through the metaphase portion of mitosis. Inhibition of the encoded protein can lead to apoptosis. This protein also can enhance tumorigenesis by suppressing tumor cell senescence. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.
