| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables 14-3-3 protein binding activity. Involved in regulation of DNA damage checkpoint. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA damage response; response to ionizing radiation; and spermatogenesis. Located in centrosome and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ganglia; gonad; lung; and spleen. Used to study autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 24; asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy; orofaciodigital syndrome; and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 6 with or without polydactyly. Orthologous to human NEK1 (NIMA related kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Spontaneous mutations of this gene result in pleiotropic effects that include facial dysmorphism, dwarfism, male sterility, anemia, cystic choroid plexus, a late-onset slowly progressive polycystic kidney disease, and premature death. Postnatal survival is sensitive to genetic background. [provided by MGI curators] |
