Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables RNA endonuclease activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in intracellular signal transduction; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and protein autophosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; mitochondrion; and nuclear inner membrane. Part of AIP1-IRE1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; connective tissue; hemolymphoid system gland; long bone; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human ERN1 (endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1).
