Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular protein transport; peptidyl-serine phosphorylation; and regulation of chromatin assembly or disassembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to DNA damage stimulus; chromatin organization; and phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human TLK1 (tousled like kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
