Description

Serine/threonine-protein kinase plk-1

Gene Summary

Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including meiotic nuclear division; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including condensed chromosome; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Is expressed in embryonic cell; germ line; and oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human PLK1 (polo like kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
