Target Details for CHEK2

Target: CHEK2 (Checkpoint Kinase 2 (CHEK2))

Alternative Name: CHEK2

Background: In response to DNA damage and replication blocks, cell cycle progression is halted through the control of critical cell cycle regulators. CHEK2 is a cell cycle checkpoint regulator and putative tumor suppressor. It contains a forkhead-associated protein interaction domain essential for activation in response to DNA damage and is rapidly phosphorylated in response to replication blocks and DNA damage. When activated, CHEK2 is known to inhibit CDC25C phosphatase, preventing entry into mitosis, and has been shown to stabilize the tumor suppressor protein p53, leading to cell cycle arrest in G1. In addition, this protein interacts with and phosphorylates BRCA1, allowing BRCA1 to restore survival after DNA damage.
