Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within glucose homeostasis and positive regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; embryo; liver; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human NUCKS1 (nuclear casein kinase and cyclin dependent kinase substrate 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO leads to increased body fat, reduced energy expenditure, hypoactivity, reduced glucose tolerance, increased insulin levels and insulin resistance. [provided by MGI curators] |
