Summary
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in cardiac muscle cell development. Predicted to act upstream of or within heart development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 27. Orthologous to human ALPK3 (alpha kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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.
