Abstract
The NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) protein is a mitotic regulator that has been identified and functionally described in Apergillus nidulans. The Neks (NIMA related kinases) are protein kinases evolutionarily conserved and structurally to NIMA homologous. In Human Neks 11 were identified, with only Nek2, Nek6, Nek7 and Nek9 has been directly implicated in mitotic regulation. It is likely…
