Primary Identifier | MGI:1915896 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 68646 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable NAD+ kinase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in NAD metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in retina. Orthologous to human NADK2 (NAD kinase 2, mitochondrial). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for knock-out allele exhibit increased serum lysine and carnitine levels, develop increased reactive oxygen species levels and hepatic steatosis on an atherogenic high-fat diet, and show impaired fasting-induced fatty acid oxidation.
