Primary Identifier | MGI:1338944 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 11479 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables activin binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in peptidyl-threonine phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activin receptor signaling pathway; hair follicle development; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cell surface and cytosol. Predicted to be part of activin receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; egg cylinder; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma; lung small cell carcinoma; malignant mesothelioma; pancreatic cancer; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human ACVR1B (activin A receptor type 1B). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for targeted mutations that inactivate the gene arrest at the egg cylinder stage, prior to gastrulation, showing epiblast and extraembryonic ectoderm disorganization.
