Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.2.0)
Enables Hsp90 protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; macroautophagy; and regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; generation of neurons; and somatic sensory system development. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; neuronal cell body; and phagophore assembly site membrane. Part of Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human ULK1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1).
