Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in compound eye photoreceptor cell differentiation; positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of mitotic nuclear division. Located in centrosome and midbody. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; antennal anlage; endoderm anlage; head epidermis primordium; and mesoderm. Used to study cancer.
