Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity and transcription coactivator activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of non-motile cilium assembly and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in axoneme; motile cilium; and photoreceptor cell cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; nasal cavity epithelium; neural retina; respiratory system; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 62. Orthologous to human MAK (male germ cell associated kinase).
