Primary Identifier | MGI:1921887 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 74637 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sedoheptulokinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and pentose-phosphate shunt, non-oxidative branch. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in trigeminal ganglion. Orthologous to human SHPK (sedoheptulokinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show pentose phosphate pathway dysregulation in the liver and an increase in urinary sedoheptulose and erythritol levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
