Acts upstream of or within negative thymic T cell selection. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in knee joint primordium; knee mesenchyme; lower leg mesenchyme; tibia; and tibia cartilage condensation. Orthologous to human MINK1 (misshapen like kinase 1).
