Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable diacylglycerol-dependent serine/threonine kinase activity and telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay; phosphatidylinositol phosphate biosynthetic process; and regulation of telomere maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and phosphorylation. Located in chromatoid body. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; early embryo; and germ cell of testis. Orthologous to human SMG1 (SMG1 nonsense mediated mRNA decay associated PI3K related kinase).
