    Summary
    Enables kinase binding activity; kinesin binding activity; and signaling adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including defecation; oviposition; and regulation of JNK cascade. Located in axon; cell body; and cytoplasm. Is expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to human MAPK8IP3 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 interacting protein 3) and SPAG9 (sperm associated antigen 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
