The Neks are kinases similar to NIMA, which is essential for mitosis in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. In mammals, there are 11 Neks, but so far only only Nek2, Nek6, Nek7 and Nek9 have been directly implicated in mitotic regulation. Recent studies support the idea that Nek6, Nek7 and Nek9 act together in the same signaling cascade in mitosis and that Nek6 and Nek7 have an independe…
Nek7 protein belongs to the NIMA-related kinases or "Neks" family, that comprises a family of eleven proteins named Nek1 to Nek 11 which have been functionally associated to mitosis, cilium regulation and DNA damage response (DDR) (Meirelles et al, 2014). Recent studies showed the involvement of Nek7 in centrosome duplication mechanism. Moreover, is known that Nek7 is over-expressed in b…
