Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein kinase activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in axonogenesis; dendritic spine morphogenesis; and regulation of postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to organic cyclic compound and dendritic spine development. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; liver; lung; and retina. Used to study non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 30. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 30. Orthologous to human PAK3 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 3).
