Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable (d)CMP kinase activity; adenylate kinase activity; and nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within ventricular system development. Located in axoneme and sperm flagellum. Used to study hydrocephalus. Orthologous to human AK8 (adenylate kinase 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap insertion exhibit mild hydrocephalus, dilation of the lateral brain ventricles and reduced size of the hippocampus. [provided by MGI curators] |
