Primary Identifier | MGI:2677836 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 227697 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable dolichol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in dolichyl monophosphate biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Im. Orthologous to human DOLK (dolichol kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
