Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in embryo development and mitotic DNA replication checkpoint signaling. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in germ line. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Is an ortholog of human CHEK1 (checkpoint kinase 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.
