Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity and protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including P granule disassembly; asymmetric protein localization involved in cell fate determination; and positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in cell cortex and intracellular non-membrane-bounded organelle. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; embryonic cell; gonad; oocyte; and pharynx. Used to study Down syndrome. Is an ortholog of human DYRK2 (dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 2) and DYRK3 (dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase 3).
