Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 78801 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable (d)CMP kinase activity; adenylate kinase activity; and nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axoneme assembly; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Predicted to be located in cytosol; extracellular region; and motile cilium. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in lung; lung epithelium; and nasal cavity respiratory epithelium. Used to study hydrocephalus and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 27. Orthologous to human AK7 (adenylate kinase 7). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice exhibit hydrocephalus, rhinitis, sperm defects and most die before 8 weeks of age. [provided by MGI curators] |
