Function: Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts on both serine and threonine residues and promotes apoptosis in response to stress stimuli and caspase activation. Mediates oxidative-stress-induced cell death by modulating phosphorylation of JNK1-JNK2 (MAPK8 and MAPK9), p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and MAPK14) during oxidative stress. Plays a role in a staurosporine-induced caspase-independent apoptotic pathway by regulating the nuclear translocation of AIFM1 and ENDOG and the DNase activity associated with ENDOG. Phosphorylates STK38L on 'Thr-442' and stimulates its kinase activity. In association with STK26 negatively regulates Golgi reorientation in polarized cell migration upon RHO activation (PubMed:27807006). Regulates also cellular migration with alteration of PTPN12 activity and PXN phosphorylation: phosphorylates PTPN12 and inhibits its activity and may regulate PXN phosphorylation through PTPN12. May act as a key regulator of axon regeneration in the optic nerve and radial nerve. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16314523, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17046825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19782762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19855390, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27807006}.

Subunit: Monomer (PubMed:20124694). Interacts with CTTNBP2NL (PubMed:18782753). Interacts with RIPOR1 (via C-terminus); this interaction occurs in a PDCD10-dependent and Rho-independent manner (PubMed:27807006). Interacts with PDCD10; this interaction is required for the association of STK24 with RIPOR1 (PubMed:27807006). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18782753, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20124694, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27807006}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Membrane. Note=The truncated form (MST3/N) translocates to the nucleus. Colocalizes with STK38L in the membrane.
Tissue specificity: Isoform A is ubiquitous. Isoform B is expressed in brain with high expression in hippocampus and cerebral cortex.
Ptm: Proteolytically processed by caspases during apoptosis. Proteolytic cleavage results in kinase activation, nuclear translocation of the truncated form (MST3/N) and the induction of apoptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12107159}.
Ptm: Isoform B is activated by phosphorylation by PKA. Oxidative stress induces phosphorylation. Activated by autophosphorylation at Thr-190 and phosphorylation at this site is essential for its function. Manganese, magnesium and cobalt-dependent autophosphorylation is mainly on threonine residues while zinc-dependent autophosphorylation is on both serine and threonine residues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10644707, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17046825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20124694}.
Similarity: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. STE Ser/Thr protein kinase family. STE20 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
