Protein
Serine/threonine-protein kinase WARTS homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Phosphorylates yap-1 which may negatively regulate yap-1 nuclear localization (PubMed:23396260). Plays an essential role in larval development (PubMed:19737560, PubMed:19605499). Regulates growth, the formation of gut granules, lifespan and cell and body sizes probably in synergy with the TGF-beta sma/mab pathway (PubMed:19737560). Does not appear to regulate apoptosis and proliferation (PubMed:19605499). In addition, may synergize with the TGF-beta daf-7 dauer pathway to regulate entry into the dauer stage (PubMed:19737560). Maintains the cellular integrity of intestinal cells by regulating the localization of apical actin and junctional proteins (PubMed:19605499).
Similarity
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family.
