gene: dyf-5 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in cilium organization; protein localization; and regulation of non-motile cilium assembly. Located in neuronal cell body and plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Expressed in lateral ganglion and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endocrine-cerebro-osteodysplasia syndrome; juvenile myoclonic epilepsy 10; and retinitis pigmentosa 62. Is an ortholog of human MAK (male germ cell associated kinase).
