NCBI Protein Information
serine/threonine-protein kinase NEK5
NCBI Summary
Encodes AtNek5, a member of the NIMA-related serine/threonine kinases (Neks) that have been linked to cell-cycle regulation in fungi and mammals. Plant Neks might be involved in plant development processes.Interacts physically with plant kinesins ARK1 and ARK2. Mutants show defects in root epidermal cell morphology, trichome branching and other epidermal cell abnormalities suggesting a rol e in epidermal cell differentiation. NEK6 co-localizes with cortical microtubules.

UniProt Comments
Involved in epidermal-cell morphogenesis in hypocotyls and roots. May act on the microtubule function. May have a secondary role in trichome branching.
