Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to contribute to AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex and nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; gallbladder; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human PRKAB2 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
