Tnik - TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase

Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density, intracellular component; and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive non-syndromic intellectual disability. Orthologous to human TNIK (TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase).
