Primary Identifier | MGI:1346881 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 26404 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein homodimerization activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including JNK cascade; positive regulation of JUN kinase activity; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of motor neuron apoptotic process. Located in cytosol; growth cone; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MAP3K12 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene-trapped allele lack the brain anterior commissure. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit postnatal lethality and abnormal axon growth and radial migration of neocortical pyramidal neurons. [provided by MGI curators] |
