General annotation (Comments)

Function	Part of the Wnt signaling pathway essential for the specification of the mesodermal cell fate in early embryos. Stimulates the wrm-1/lit-1-dependent phosphorylation of pop-1 and plays a role in the initial nuclear accumulation of wrm-1. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.6
Catalytic activity	ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein. UniProtKB O43318
Cofactor	Magnesium By similarity. UniProtKB O43318
Subunit structure	Interacts with, and is activated by, tap-1. Ref.2 Ref.5
Developmental stage	Expressed in the embryo. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase kinase kinase subfamily. UniProtKB O43318 Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
