Primary Identifier | MGI:1921387 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 74137 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of hippo signaling. Is expressed in several structures, including lung; neural ectoderm; nose; paravertebral ganglion; and ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anencephaly. Orthologous to human NUAK2 (NUAK family kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Most homozygous null mice are exencephalic and die at E16.5 while survivors show a higher number of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in colon. Heterozygotes show increased susceptibility to AOM-induced ACF formation and colon tumors, mature-onset obesity and metabolic disorders. [provided by MGI curators] |
