Predicted to enable monosaccharide binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of I-kappaB kinase/NF-kappaB signaling. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and photoreceptor connecting cilium. Orthologous to human ALPK1 (alpha kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
