Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within hemopoiesis and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including hatching gland; notochord; periderm; polster; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to human PIM2 (Pim-2 proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase).
