| Application: | All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | NEK7 (NIMA (never in mitosis A)-related kinase 7) is involved in the control of mitosis, by forming a mitotic kinase cascade, which includes NEK6 and NEK9. It has an essential role in the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis, as well as is involved in cytokinesis. During interphase, it is essential for the duplication of centrosome, and the recruitment of centrosomal pericentriolar materials (PCM). It is involved in regulating the stability of microtubules (MT), and phosphorylates MT-related proteins or MT motors. It also phosphorylates Eg5, which is a kinesin motor protein, and is essential for the formation of mitotic spindle. Studies also suggest that it may play a role in various cancers, and this might be attributable to its ability to regulate MT dynamics. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
| General description: | NEK7 (NIMA (never in mitosis A)-related kinase 7) belongs to the family of NIMA-related serine/threonine kinases. This family consists of eleven members from NEK1 to NEK11. It has a conserved catalytic domain at its N-terminal, and a non-conserved regulatory domain at its C-terminal. This protein is a resident of centrosomes. This protein is composed of 303 amino acid residues. This protein, along with NEK6, is the smallest member of this family. |
