Caenorhabditis elegans Enables beta-catenin binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate commitment; polarity specification of proximal/distal axis; and positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Located in cell cortex and nucleus. Part of serine/threonine protein kinase complex. Expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite gonad; pharynx; tail hypodermis; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human NLK (nemo like kinase).
