This gene encodes a member of the never in mitosis gene A family of kinases. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleoli, and may function with NEK2A in the S-phase checkpoint. The encoded protein appears to play roles in DNA replication and response to genotoxic stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
Forensic Context
A study in humans using post-mortem tissue RNA sequencing demonstrated that the NEK11 gene was downregulated in the lungs as part of the inhibited cell cycle pathway in patients who succumbed to septic shock [Pinheiro da Silva et al. DOI:10.1111/jcmm.17938].
