Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of autophagy; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and protein stabilization. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic mitochondrial changes; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of macroautophagy. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine gland; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; and nose. Orthologous to human PIM2 (Pim-2 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase).
