About PLK2

Cytogenetic location: 5q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:58,453,982-58,460,086 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 41.3), placenta (RPKM 28.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases that have a role in normal cell division. This gene is most abundantly expressed in testis, spleen and fetal tissues, and its expression is inducible by serum, suggesting that it may also play an important role in cells undergoing rapid cell division. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
