Background:

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of proteins on serine and threonine residues is an essential means of regulating a broad range of cellular functions in eukaryotes, including cell division, homeostasis and apoptosis. A group of proteins that are intimately involved in this process are the serine/threonine (Ser/Thr) protein kinases. Nek5 (NimA-related protein kinase 5) is a 708 amino acid protein that is related to NIMA, a protein that was originally discovered in Aspergillus nidulans and is necessary for entry into mitosis. One of several members of the Ser/Thr protein kinase super family, Nek5 contains one protein kinase domain through which it catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of target proteins. Like NIMA, Nek5 may be involved in mitotic regulation and cell cycle control.

Specificity:

NEK5 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of NEK5 protein.
