vrk-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate specification; gonad development; and regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in nuclear envelope. Part of chromatin. Expressed in several structures, including P3.p hermaphrodite; P4.p hermaphrodite; P8.p hermaphrodite; hermaphrodite gonad; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1A. Is an ortholog of human VRK1 (VRK serine/threonine kinase 1).
