Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 6-phosphofructokinase activity. Involved in glycolytic process through fructose-6-phosphate. Acts upstream of or within fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process; negative regulation of insulin secretion; and response to glucose. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PFKL (phosphofructokinase, liver type). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete preweaning lethality. Female heterozygous mice show anomalies in the hair cycle catagen phase and hair follicle degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
