Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to fibroblast growth factor stimulus; positive regulation of kinase activity; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Located in apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CAKUT1 and hereditary spastic paraplegia 23. Orthologous to human DSTYK (dual serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinase).
