Primary Identifier | MGI:1201387 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 18099 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; SH2 domain binding activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within protein autophosphorylation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; genitourinary system; nervous system; neural retina; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human NLK (nemo like kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation die either during late gestation or around 4-6 weeks, depending on background. Long survivors exhibit growth retardation, neurological abnormalities, and aberrant differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
