Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity and tau-protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction; negative regulation of hippo signaling; and negative regulation of protein localization to nucleus. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in dendrite. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in visual impairment and progressive phthisis bulbi. Orthologous to human MARK3 (microtubule affinity regulating kinase 3).
