Summary
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in regulation of trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neurotransmitter secretion; and observational learning. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; growth cone; and nucleus. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PAK1 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1).

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.
