basal body, cilia, nucleus

Functional category

Ciliary assembly/disassembly
Cardiac & muscle development

Function

Biallelic loss of function NEK3 mutations were found in 2 families with abnormal cardiac left-right patterning. NEK3 depeletion was associated with deacetylation of 伪-tubulin and downregulation of NUP205, NUP188, and NUP155 and defective ciliary ultrastructure (33230144)

Model organism evidence

C. elegans (1 reference)

Human NIMA-related kinases have primarily been studied for their roles in cell cycle progression (NEK1/2/6/7/9), checkpoint-DNA-damage control (NEK1/2/4/5/10/11), and ciliogenesis (NEK1/4/8).
