Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and nematode larval development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; intestine; male sex myoblast; and vulval muscle. Used to study bone disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; bone disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human FGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2).
Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Is an ortholog of several human genes including ARMCX1 (armadillo repeat containing X-linked 1); ARMCX2 (armadillo repeat containing X-linked 2); and ARMCX3 (armadillo repeat containing X-linked 3).
