Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in adult locomotory behavior and behavioral response to nicotine. Located in A band. Expressed in body wall muscle cell and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 3. Is an ortholog of human MAPKAPK2 (MAPK activated protein kinase 2) and MAPKAPK3 (MAPK activated protein kinase 3).
