Function
Serine/threonine-protein kinase which plays a role, during oogenesis, in chromosome pairing and synapsis, by facilitating the recruitment and attachment of meiotic chromosomes to the nuclear envelope during prophase (PubMed:22018922, PubMed:22018921). Regulates the formation of sun-1 patches along the nuclear envelope (PubMed:22018922, PubMed:22018921). Promotes meiotic nuclei apoptosis in response to chromosomal asynapsis (PubMed:22018922). Plays a redundant role with plk-1 in the establishment of cell polarity downstream of mex-5 and mex-6 during the first embryonic cell divisions (PubMed:18199581). Plays a role in nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated sensitivity to nicotine but not levamisole (PubMed:15990870). Regulates motility (PubMed:15990870).
