Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; hemidesmosome assembly; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in centrosome and cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including AVM; Q lineage cell; QL.aa; QL.pp; and nerve ring neurons. Is an ortholog of human MELK (maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase).
