Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 21915 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables thymidylate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to growth factor stimulus; dTDP biosynthetic process; and nucleoside monophosphate phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; forebrain; genitourinary system; midbrain; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human DTYMK (deoxythymidylate kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality before E12.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
