Summary: Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process in bone marrow cell; negative regulation of cellular senescence; and positive regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within mitotic cell cycle. Located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hindlimb interdigital region; integumental system; nervous system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PLK2 (polo like kinase 2).

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.
