Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in chondroitin sulfate biosynthetic process and positive regulation of response to oxidative stress. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
dkf-1. In C. elegans,
dkf-1 is involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; determination of adult lifespan; and positive regulation of protein import into nucleus.
