Biochem/physiol Actions

NEK7 is a member of the NIMA family of serine/threonine kinases. In contrast to the other documented NIMA-related kinases, NEK7 harbor its catalytic domain in the C-terminus of the protein. Immunofluorescence studies suggest that NEK7 is cytoplasmic and located on chromosome 1. The major protein kinase that is active on the p70 S6 kinase hydrophobic regulatory site (FXXFS/TF/Y) Thr412, was purified from rat liver and identified as NEK7.NEK7 kinase activity is rapidly and efficiently increased by serum deprivation, and may be regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner.
