Primary Identifier | MGI:2446159 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 217837 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable inositol phosphate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within neural tube development. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and peripheral nervous system. Orthologous to human ITPK1 (inositol-tetrakisphosphate 1-kinase). PHENOTYPE: Some mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit neural tube defects (exencephaly and spina bifida), growth retardation, kyphoscoliosis, and rib formation. [provided by MGI curators] |
