Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including dorsal/ventral axon guidance; nematode larval development; and regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including QL; QR; body wall musculature; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Used to study epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 54; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and hepatitis B. Is an ortholog of human MAP4K4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 4); MINK1 (misshapen like kinase 1); and TNIK (TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase).
Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity and histone methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling. Predicted to be located in nucleus.
Involved in negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in PVM; head; nerve ring; and tail.
