Entrez Gene summary for PLK4 Gene:
This gene encodes a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein localizes to
centrioles, complex microtubule-based structures found in centrosomes, and regulates centriole duplication during
the cell cycle. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been
found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010)

GeneCards Summary for PLK4 Gene:
PLK4 (polo-like kinase 4) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with PLK4 include acute myocardial infarction, and myocardial infarction. GO annotations related to this gene include protein serine/threonine kinase activity and protein tyrosine kinase activity. An important paralog of this gene is PLK2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PLK4_HUMAN, O00444
Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays a central role in centriole duplication. Able to trigger
procentriole formation on the surface of the parental centriole cylinder, leading to the recruitment of centriole
biogenesis proteins such as SASS6, CENPJ/CPAP, CCP110, CEP135 and gamma-tubulin. When overexpressed, it is able
to induce centrosome amplification through the simultaneous generation of multiple procentrioles adjoining each
parental centriole during S phase. Phosphorylates 'Ser-151' of FBXW5 during the G1/S transition, leading to
inhibit FBXW5 ability to ubiquitinate SASS6. Its central role in centriole replication suggests a possible role
in tumorigenesis, centrosome aberrations being frequently observed in tumors. Also involved in
deuterosome-mediated centriole amplification in multiciliated that can generate more than 100 centrioles. Also
involved in trophoblast differentiation by phosphorylating HAND1, leading to disrupt the interaction between
HAND1 and MDFIC and activate HAND1. Phosphorylates CDC25C and CHEK2
