Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of NMDA receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; liver and biliary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary bladder cancer and uterine fibroid. Orthologous to human DAPK1 (death associated protein kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show decreased sensitivity to ER stress-induced cell death and reduced tunicamycin-induced kidney damage. Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele show decreased infarct size and neuronal death with improved neurological scores after ischemic brain injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
