Primary Identifier | MGI:1889276 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 56077 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission and phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic process. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 7. Orthologous to human DGKE (diacylglycerol kinase epsilon). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null allele exhibit reductions in susceptibility to electroconvulsive shock and arachidonoyldiacylglycerol accumulation in cerebral cortex, and attenuated long-term potentiation in dentate granular cell synapses.
