    Summary
    Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in autophagy and response to starvation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axonogenesis; negative regulation of collateral sprouting; and somatic sensory system development. Located in phagophore assembly site membrane. Is expressed in facial bone primordium; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ULK2 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 2).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
