NEK10
NEK10 (Serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek10) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer.
Overview
Plays a role in the cellular response to UV irradiation. Mediates G2/M cell cycle arrest, MEK autoactivation and ERK1/2-signalling pathway activation in response to UV irradiation. In ciliated cells of airways, it is involved in the regulation of mucociliary transport.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.52 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.37, genetic association 0.67).

- 1 · What it is
NEK10 (Serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek10) is a protein kinase, an enzyme that switches other proteins on by adding phosphate groups. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Breast cancer.
- 2 · What goes wrong in cancer
Plays a role in the cellular response to UV irradiation. Mediates G2/M cell cycle arrest, MEK autoactivation and ERK1/2-signalling pathway activation in response to UV irradiation.
- 3 · How drugs use it
No product in this corpus aims at NEK10 yet. Kinases are switched on by binding ATP inside the cell, so most drugs are small molecules shaped to plug that ATP pocket.

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
