About Plk4

Primary_assembly 2: 123,802,512-123,820,942 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 9 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 13.2), Testes (RPKM 9.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including organelle assembly; regulation of cell cycle process; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including XY body; centriole; and deuterosome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly and chorioretinopathy 2. Orthologous to human PLK4 (polo like kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
