Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in embryo development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including gonad and tail. Is an ortholog of human SRPK1 (SRSF protein kinase 1); SRPK2 (SRSF protein kinase 2); and SRPK3 (SRSF protein kinase 3).
Is affected by several genes including sir-2.1; clk-1; and pgl-1 based on tiling array; microarray; and RNA-seq studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Domain of unknown function (DUF545) and SPK domain.
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in embryo development. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Expressed in PVDL; PVDR; and gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung non-small cell carcinoma (multiple); and urinary system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SRSF1 (serine and arginine rich splicing factor 1).
