NCIt definition : Human CHEK1 wild-type allele is located within 11q24-q24 and is approximately 29 kb
in length. This allele, which encodes serine/threonine-protein kinase Chk1 protein,
plays a role in the induction of cell cycle arrest at the G2/M checkpoint in response
to either DNA damage or the presence of unreplicated DNA.;
