Caenorhabditis elegans A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in striated muscle myosin thick filament assembly and striated muscle paramyosin thick filament assembly. Located in M band. Expressed in body wall musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anencephaly and uterine fibroid. Is an ortholog of human NUAK1 (NUAK family kinase 1) and NUAK2 (NUAK family kinase 2).
