Primary Identifier | MGI:1197518 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 11302 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables protein tyrosine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within brain development and neuron apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cell projection; cytoplasm; and membrane. Is expressed in brain; corpus callosum; spinal cord; spinal cord gray matter; and spinal cord white matter. Orthologous to human AATK (apoptosis associated tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased brain size, longer axons and fewer neurites. [provided by MGI curators] |
