Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in amphid neurons and lumbar neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome; nephronophthisis 9; and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. Is an ortholog of human NEK9 (NIMA related kinase 9).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
