- Description
- Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in hemopoiesis. Acts upstream of or within erythrocyte development and regulation of heart contraction. Predicted to be located in cell cortex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; immature eye; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; and proliferative region. Orthologous to human MELK (maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase).
