Enables protein kinase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in adult locomotory behavior and behavioral response to nicotine. Located in A band. Expressed in body wall muscle cell and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 3. Is an ortholog of human MAPKAPK2 (MAPK activated protein kinase 2) and MAPKAPK3 (MAPK activated protein kinase 3).
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.
