NCIt synonyms : PLK; Polo-Like Kinase; Serine/Threonine-Protein Kinase 13; PLK-1; Polo-Like Kinase 1; Serine/Threonine Kinase PLK1; EC 2.7.11.21; STPK13; Polo Like Kinase; Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase PLK1;
NCIt definition : Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK1 (603 aa, 68 kDa) is encoded by the human PLK1
gene. This protein is involved in protein phosphorylation and the regulation of both
cell cycle progression and cytokinesis.;
NCIt note : Serine/threonine-protein kinase PLK1 is localized to centrosomes, centromeres/kinetochores,
and the spindle midzone, where it may regulate both the organization and the function
of the mitotic apparatus.;
