Description: Protein kinase which is involved in the control of centrosome separation and bipolar spindle formation in mitotic cells and chromatin condensation in meiotic cells. Regulates centrosome separation (essential for the formation of bipolar spindles and high-fidelity chromosome separation) by phosphorylating centrosomal proteins such as CROCC, CEP250 and NINL, resulting in their displacement from the centrosomes. Regulates kinetochore microtubule attachment stability in mitosis via phosphorylation of NDC80. Involved in regulation of mitotic checkpoint protein complex via phosphorylation of CDC20 and MAD2L1. Plays an active role in chromatin condensation during the first meiotic division through phosphorylation of HMGA2. Phosphorylates: PPP1CC; SGO1; NECAB3 and NPM1. Essential for localization of MAD2L1 to kinetochore and MAPK1 and NPM1 to the centrosome. Phosphorylates CEP68 and CNTLN directly or indirectly (PubMed:24554434). NEK2-mediated phosphorylation of CEP68 promotes CEP68 dissociation from the centrosome and its degradation at the onset of mitosis (PubMed:25704143). Involved in the regulation of centrosome disjunction (PubMed:26220856).

Post Translational Modifications: Activated by autophosphorylation. Protein phosphatase 1 represses autophosphorylation and activation of isoform 1 by dephosphorylation. Phosphorylation by STK3/MST2 is necessary for its localization to the centrosome.

Subunit Structure: Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 4 form homo- and heterodimers. Interacts with NECAB3 and HMGA2 (By similarity). Isoform 1 interacts with CDC20, CTNB1, MAD1L1, MAPK, NEK11, NPM1, NDC80, PCNT and SGO1 (PubMed:14978040, PubMed:15358203, PubMed:15388344, PubMed:15161910, PubMed:17621308, PubMed:18086858, PubMed:18297113, PubMed:20599736, PubMed:20034488). Isoform 1 interacts with STK3/MST2 (via SARAH domain) and SAV1 (via SARAH domain) (PubMed:21076410). Isoform 1 and isoform 2 interact with MAD2L1 (PubMed:20034488). Isoform 1 and isoform 4 interact with PPP1CA and PPP1CC (PubMed:15659832, PubMed:17283141). Interacts with CEP68; the interaction leads to phosphorylation of CEP68. Interacts with CNTLN; the interaction leads to phosphorylation of CNTLN (PubMed:24554434). Isoform 1 interacts with CEP85 (PubMed:26220856).

Similarity: The leucine-zipper domain is required for its dimerization and activation. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. NEK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. NIMA subfamily.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. This protein is localized to the centrosome, and undetectable during G1 phase, but accumulates progressively throughout the S phase, reaching maximal levels in late G2 phase. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms with distinct C-termini have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Uniprot Description

NEK2: a protein kinase of the NEK family. Accumulates throughout S phase and shows maximal levels in late G2. This expression pattern is highly reminiscent of that of A and B cyclins. Phosphorylation of Hec1 by Nek2 is essential for faithful chromosome segregation

The NEK2 nek2 (Catalog #AAA9610845) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The NEK2 Antibody reacts with Human, Rat Predicted: Pig, Zebrafish, Bovine, Horse, Sheep, Rabbit, Dog, Chicken, Xenopus and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's NEK2 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Peptide ELISA (EIA). WB: 1:500-1:2000 ELISA (Peptide): 1:20000-1:40000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NEK2 nek2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NEK2, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
