Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to act upstream of or within learning or memory; locomotory behavior; and neuron projection morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell junction; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to several human genes including BUB1B-PAK6 (BUB1B-PAK6 readthrough).
