| Primary Identifier | MGI:891990 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 14625 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerol metabolic process; glycerol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycerol kinase deficiency. Orthologous to human GK (glycerol kinase). PHENOTYPE: The gene product is involved in mitochondrial dynamics in sperm cells. Homozygous KO causes sperm motility defects which leads to male infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
