Primary Identifier | MGI:2442572 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 106504 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; UFM1-modified protein reader activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage checkpoint signaling; negative regulation of MAP kinase activity; and protein phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and site of double-strand break. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nose. Orthologous to human STK38 (serine/threonine kinase 38). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased susceptibility to bacterial infection and altered TLR9-activated inflammatory responses. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit mislocalization of opsin, increased apoptosis and proliferation of photoreceptors in the inner nuclear layer and disrupted localization of amacrine cells.
