Summary: This gene encodes a member of the NimA (never in mitosis A) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein differs from other NimA family members in that it is not cell cycle regulated and is found primarily in the cytoplasm. The kinase is activated by prolactin stimulation, leading to phosphorylation of VAV2 guanine nucleotide exchange factor, paxillin, and activation of the RAC1 GTPase. Two functional alleles for this gene have been identified in humans. The reference genome assembly (GRCh38) represents a functional allele that is associated with the inclusion of an additional coding exon in protein-coding transcripts, compared to an alternate functional allele that lacks the exon. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2019]
Annotation information: Note: Genetic polymorphisms result in both protein coding and non-coding alleles of this gene.; Note: Available sequence data supports two haplotypes in the human population that differ by a 1 nt indel (rs3837575) at the end of exon 10. Both haplotypes appear to encode functional proteins via alternative splicing of exon 11. The GRCh38 reference assembly includes the extra nt and expresses a full-length protein that includes exon 11, whereas haplotypes that lack the extra nt express a full-length protein lacking exon 11.

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.

Transcript Variant: This variant (4) represents the splice pattern of variant 1 but without the extra 'A' found in the GRCh38 haplotype. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
