Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HAK

Summary

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; protein serine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including epicardium morphogenesis; heart development; and negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway involved in heart development. Acts upstream of or within regulation of gene expression. Colocalizes with basolateral plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
