Predicted to enable protein kinase C activity and telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including TORC1 signaling; nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of TORC1 complex and TORC2 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in spermatid and spermatocyte. Orthologous to human SMG1 (SMG1 nonsense mediated mRNA decay associated PI3K related kinase).
