CELE_B0205.7, B0205.7

kin-3 encodes an ortholog of the catalytic subunit of casein kinase II alpha, which in Drosophila and mammals is required for normal circadian rhythms, and which directly phosphorylates the Drosophila PERIOD protein (which itself regulates circadian rhythms); by analogy, KIN-3 might be expected to help regulate heterochronic functions dependent on such proteins as LIN-42.
