Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat kinase activity and cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; positive regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of inflammatory response. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 87. Orthologous to human CDK19 (cyclin dependent kinase 19).
