About Plk2

Primary_assembly 2: 41,969,176-41,974,947 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 389.), Liver (RPKM 239.2) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including Rap protein signal transduction; negative regulation of dendritic spine development; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Located in dendrite. Orthologous to human PLK2 (polo like kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
