Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 68870 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable AMP binding activity and nucleobase-containing compound kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within ventricular system development. Located in axoneme and sperm flagellum. Used to study hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human AK8 (adenylate kinase 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap insertion exhibit mild hydrocephalus, dilation of the lateral brain ventricles and reduced size of the hippocampus. [provided by MGI curators] |
