Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)
Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; myosin phosphatase regulator activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of myotube differentiation; regulation of skeletal muscle contraction by calcium ion signaling; and regulation of synapse structural plasticity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential involved in skeletal muscle contraction and regulation of sodium ion transport. Located in several cellular components, including bounding membrane of organelle; cytosol; and nuclear membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; hemolymphoid system gland; limb bud; musculature; and somite. Used to study myotonic dystrophy type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myotonic dystrophy type 1. Orthologous to human DMPK (DM1 protein kinase).
