Primary Identifier | MGI:96103 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 15275 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glucokinase activity and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in carbohydrate phosphorylation; hexose metabolic process; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Located in cytosol; membrane raft; and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4G; anemia (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); obesity; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human HK1 (hexokinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit hemolytic anemia with extensive tissue iron deposition and reticulocytosis and female infertility.
