Primary Identifier | MGI:1930958 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 83813 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP binding activity and non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; negative regulation of cell growth; and protein autophosphorylation. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; pituitary gland; respiratory system; and thymus. Orthologous to human TNK1 (tyrosine kinase non receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice either heterozygous or homozygous for a knock-out allele develop spontaneous tumors, including lymphomas and carcinomas, at high rates. [provided by MGI curators] |
