Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ This gene encodes a member of the NimA (never in mitosis A) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein differs from other NimA family members in that it is not cell cycle regulated and is found primarily in the cytoplasm. The kinase is activated by prolactin stimulation, leading to phosphorylation of VAV2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, paxillin, and activation of the RAC1 GTPase. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene_x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ NEK3 (AAH19916, 406 a.a. ~ 506 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag.
