Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables Hsp90 protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including macroautophagy; regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to mitochondrial depolarisation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; generation of neurons; and radial glia guided migration of cerebellar granule cell. 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; heart; retina; and tibialis anterior. Orthologous to human ULK1 (unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1).
