Enables small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; intracellular signaling cassette; and vulval development. Expressed in head neurons and vulval precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and central nervous system benign neoplasm (multiple). Is an ortholog of human BRAF (B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase).
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and signal transduction. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including dorsal nerve cord; gonad; pharynx; and vulval precursor cell.
