Primary Identifier | MGI:1346864 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 26415 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and MAP kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to anisomycin; cellular response to sodium arsenite; and cellular response to sorbitol. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MAPK13 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit improved glucose tolerance, increased insulin secretion, decreased blood glucose, and decreased susceptibility to diet- or chemically-induced diabetes.
