Function

RCC1 domain localized to centrosomes and cilia, while the kinase domain alone, despite being active, did not . A model for how activity regulates Nek8 localization based on the hypothesis that autophosphorylation within the non-catalytic RCC1-like domain is required to expose a ciliary-targeting site present within this domain (PMID: 22106379).
