Primary Identifier | MGI:1923972 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 76722 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cardiolipin binding activity and creatine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphocreatine biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphocreatine metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; lung; skeletal muscle; and thymus. Orthologous to human CKMT2 (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 2). PHENOTYPE: The hearts of mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene have hypertrophic and dilated left ventricles exhibit functional abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
