Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to arsenic-containing substance; intracellular signal transduction; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human MKNK2 (MAPK interacting serine/threonine kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
