Ppa-pkg-1 encodes a conserved Serine/Threonine kinase with pleiotropic effects; a Ppa-pkg-1 deletion leads to a defect in odor adaptation, fewer egg counts, reduced fecundity and small body size.
Organism
Pristionchus pacificus
Automated Description
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and cGMP-dependent protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein phosphorylation. Expressed in head neurons. Is an ortholog of C. elegans egl-4. In C. elegans, egl-4 is involved in several processes, including enzyme-linked receptor protein signaling pathway; regulation of multicellular organismal process; and regulation of signal transduction.
