Predicted to enable calmodulin binding activity; mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including macropinocytosis; protein phosphorylation; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 3. Orthologous to human MAPKAPK3 (MAPK activated protein kinase 3).
