| Name | NIMA-related kinase 6 |
| Description | The protein encoded by this gene is a kinase required for progression through the metaphase portion of mitosis. Inhibition of the encoded protein can lead to apoptosis. This protein also can enhance tumorigenesis by suppressing tumor cell senescence. Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene.

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nNEK6 plays a central role in the faithful execution of mitosis.

Moreover, NEK6 phosphorylates key substrates including histones H1/H3, microtubule‐associated proteins like EML4, and factors that regulate spindle microtubule dynamics and the DNA damage checkpoint, thereby ensuring timely progression through mitosis and chromosomal stability."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "10"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn cancer cells, NEK6 overexpression or aberrant activity is frequently associated with tumorigenesis.
