Background： 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],

Function：catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,cofactor:Magnesium.,developmental stage:Accumulates throughout S phase and shows maximal levels in late G2. This expression pattern is highly reminiscent of that of A and B cyclins. Expression of both isoform 1 and isoform 2 is low in the G1 phase and increases in the S/G2 phases. Isoform 1 is absent from cells arrested in the G2/M prometaphase, whereas isoform 2 remains present.,function:Protein kinase that is involved in mitotic regulation. May have a role at the G2-M transition. May also play a role in meiosis. Isoform 1 but not isoform 2 appears to play a role in centrosome splitting. Isoform 1 phosphorylates and activates NEK11 in G1/S-arrested cells. Isoform 2, which is not present in the nucleolus, does not.,PTM:It is unsure whether Thr-170 or Ser-171 is phosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamil

Subcellular Location：[Isoform 1]: Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus . Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Chromosome, centromere . STK3/MST2 and SAV1 are required for its targeting to the centrosome. Colocalizes with SGO1 and MAD1L1 at the kinetochore. Not associated with kinetochore in the interphase but becomes associated with it upon the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Has a nucleolar targeting/ retention activity via a coiled-coil domain at the C-terminal end.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Predominantly cytoplasmic.; [Isoform 4]: Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Predominantly nuclear.

Expression：Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in peripheral blood T-cells and a wide variety of transformed cell types. Isoform 1 and isoform 4 are expressed in the testis. Up-regulated in various cancer cell lines, as well as primary breast tumors.
