Summary
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to bisphenol A; positive regulation of anoikis; and regulation of cell cycle phase transition. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; PML body; and chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of urinary bladder cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2; breast cancer (multiple); colorectal cancer; osteosarcoma; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human CHEK2 (checkpoint kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
