NIMA (never in mitosis gene a)-related kinase 1, also known as NEK1, is a human gene highly expressed in germ cells and thought to be involved in meiosis. It is also involved in the response to DNA damage from radiation; defects in this gene can be a cause of polycystic kidney disease.^[5] NEK1 is thought to be involved in amytrophic lateral sclerosis.^[6]^[7]

The gene was discovered by researchers with Project MinE, with the ALS Association providing funding raised through the Ice Bucket Challenge.^[8]
