    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; protein stabilization; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
