Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase C binding activity; receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity; and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of axon extension involved in regeneration; and stress-activated MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human MAP3K21 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 21) and MAP3K9 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 9).
