Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in morphogenesis of an epithelium and positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study popliteal pterygium syndrome. Orthologous to human RIPK4 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
