Predicted to enable MAP kinase kinase kinase kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including embryonic cell and vulval precursor cell. Used to study ciliopathy. Is an ortholog of human MAP4K3 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 3) and MAP4K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 5).
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.
