Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; regulation of cellular localization; and regulation of synapse organization. Located in axon and synapse. Used to study epilepsy and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and lissencephaly 7 with cerebellar hypoplasia. Is an ortholog of human CDK5 (cyclin dependent kinase 5).
