Enables several functions, including myosin V binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization and regulation of microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human TAOK1 (TAO kinase 1); PARTICIPATES IN
p38 MAPK signaling pathway; mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 2,6-dinitrotoluene.
