Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within forebrain development; generation of neurons; and negative regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Located in postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; future brain; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human DCLK1 (doublecortin like kinase 1).
