Primary Identifier | MGI:2443336 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 235533 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and glycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerol metabolic process; glycerol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in olfactory epithelium and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human GK5 (glycerol kinase 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for ENU-induced alleles exhibit skin phenotype and alopecia. [provided by MGI curators] |
