Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including HRI-mediated signaling; positive regulation of mitophagy; and response to iron ion starvation. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is active in cytosol and mitochondrial outer membrane. [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.
