Nuak1 - NUAK family, SNF1-like kinase, 1

Predicted to enable p53 binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; regulation of cellular senescence; and regulation of myosin-light-chain-phosphatase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion; cellular response to DNA damage stimulus; and phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; nervous system; nose; and urinary system. Orthologous to human NUAK1 (NUAK family kinase 1).
