Polo-like kinase 4 (Drosophila), also known as PLK4, is a human gene.^[1]

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.^[1]
