Primary Identifier | MGI:1289156 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 52033 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to UV; negative regulation of protein metabolic process; and negative regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PBK (PDZ binding kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased UV-induced loss of the horny layer, epidermis thickening, skin fibrosis, and deposition of extracellular matrix in the skin.
