Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of hippo signaling. Is expressed in several structures, including lung; neural ectoderm; nose; paravertebral ganglion; and ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anencephaly. Orthologous to human NUAK2 (NUAK family kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
