Summary: Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of hippo signaling; negative regulation of protein localization to nucleus; and peptidyl-serine autophosphorylation. Predicted to be located in dendrite. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visual impairment and progressive phthisis bulbi. Orthologous to human MARK3 (microtubule affinity regulating kinase 3).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
