Primary Identifier | MGI:2155779 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 140810 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in cilium assembly; hindbrain development; and smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic brain development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of non-motile cilium assembly. Located in ciliary base; ciliary transition zone; and microtubule organizing center. Is expressed in nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 11. Orthologous to human TTBK2 (tau tubulin kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele exhibit complete preweaning lethality, decreased embryo size, growth retardation, and incomplete turning. [provided by MGI curators] |
