Enables identical protein binding activity and protein histidine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of MAPK cascade; positive regulation of vulval development; and regulation of cellular component organization. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); prostatic hypertrophy; and teratoma. Is an ortholog of human NME1-NME2 (NME1-NME2 readthrough); NME2 (NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 2); and NME2P1 (NME2 pseudogene 1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
