| Primary Identifier | MGI:1339984 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 224105 |
| 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 cellular response to organic cyclic compound and dendritic spine development. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ductal carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to human PAK2 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lethality between E8 and the postnatal period with prominent head folds, impaired somite development, and growth retardation. Mice homozygous for a knock-in allele exhibit increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
