description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables pantothenate kinase activity. Involved in coenzyme A biosynthetic process. Located in cell periphery and cytoplasm. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PANK1 (pantothenate kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant has increased body weight, polyphagia, decreased serum triglyceride and glucose levels after fasting. [provided by MGI curators] |
