Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 170768 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity and fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PFKFB3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality before E8. Inducible endothelial cell-specific homozygous knockout affects glycolysis in muscle ECs, reducing their proliferation rate and their macrophage signaling, which in turn impairs revascularization and thus muscle regeneration after ischemic injury.
