{"symbol":"NEK8","synonyms":["NEK12A","RHPD2","JCK","NPHP9"],"name":"NIMA-related kinase 8","description":"This gene encodes a member of the serine/threionine protein kinase family related to NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A) of Aspergillus nidulans. The encoded protein may play a role in cell cycle progression from G2 to M phase. Mutations in the related mouse gene are associated with a disease phenotype that closely parallels the juvenile autosomal recessive form of polycystic kidney disease in humans.
