Primary Identifier | MGI:2677836 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 227697 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable dolichol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in dolichol phosphate mannose biosynthetic process; dolichyl monophosphate biosynthetic process; and protein glycosylation. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation Im. Orthologous to human DOLK (dolichol kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased embryo size, a rudimentary egg cylinder, failure of primitive streak formation, absent primitive node and head folds, failure to gastrulate, and complete lethality prior to organogenesis.
