Ttbk1 - tau tubulin kinase 1

Predicted to enable protein kinase activity and tau protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of microglial cell activation; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Located in neuronal cell body and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in ganglia; nose; trigeminal nerve; and ventral grey horn. Orthologous to human TTBK1 (tau tubulin kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
