| Function |
Serine/threonine kinase that acts as a key regulator of ciliogenesis: controls the initiation of ciliogenesis by binding to the distal end of the basal body and promoting the removal of CCP110, which caps the mother centriole, leading to the recruitment of IFT proteins, which build the ciliary axoneme. Has some substrate preference for proteins that are already phosphorylated on a Tyr residue at the +2 position relative to the phosphorylation site. Able to phosphorylate tau on serines in vitro. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21548880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23141541}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cell projection, cilium {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, cilium basal body {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus. Note=Localizes to the transition zone in primary cilia in response to cell cycle signals that promote ciliogenesis (By similarity). May also be present in cytosol and, at lower level in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.
