NEK3 Protein Description

NEK3 (NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related expressed kinase 3), belongs to the NEK family of protein kinases that share high amino acid homology with NIMA (never in mitosis gene a). NEK3 influences neuronal morphogenesis and polarity through effects on microtubules. It regulates microtubule acetylation in neurons. NEK3 is implicated in prolactin-mediated cytoskeletal reorganization and motility of breast cancer cells through mechanisms involving RAC1 activation and phosphorylation of PXN and VAV2. NEK3 is up-regulated in malignant versus normal breast tissue. Overexpression of NEK3 in Chinese hamster ovary cells increases cytoskeletal re-organization in response to Prolactin while downregulation of NEK3 expression by siRNA block these effects. Prolactin also stimulates interaction between NEK3 and paxillin leading to increased paxillin phosphorylation, Analysis of breast tissue microarrays show a significant up-regulation of NEK3 expression in malignant versus normal specimens.
