Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including organelle assembly; positive regulation of centriole replication; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including XY body; deuterosome; and microtubule organizing center. Predicted to be part of procentriole replication complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy. 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, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
