Primary Identifier | MGI:1929658 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 56480 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; protein phosphatase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of type I interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of xenophagy. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to Gram-positive bacterium; dendritic cell proliferation; and positive regulation of interferon-beta production. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease and frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 4. Orthologous to human TBK1 (TANK binding kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit increased prenatal lethality, increased infiltration of mononuclear and/or granulomatous cells in multiple organs and tissues at 3 months of age, and increased lethality in response to LPS.
