    Summary
    Predicted to enable histone kinase activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in regulation of cell migration. Located in cell leading edge. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; musculature; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLK (STE20 like kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
