Summary: Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; histone H2AS1 kinase activity; and protein serine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; cilium organization; and nervous system development. Is active in cilium. Is expressed in brain. Used to study hydrocephalus and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human ULK4 (unc-51 like kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
