Enables histone deacetylase inhibitor activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including dauer entry; positive regulation of growth rate; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; nervous system; and non-striated muscle.
Is affected by several genes including kri-1; sma-2; and sma-4 based on RNA-seq studies. Is affected by five chemicals including Psoralens; allantoin; and metformin based on RNA-seq studies.
