Summary
Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive non-syndromic intellectual disability. Orthologous to human TNIK (TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
