Description
Predicted to have calcium ion binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in erythrocyte development and regulation of heart contraction. Predicted to localize to cell cortex and nucleus. 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).
