Primary Identifier | MGI:1858416 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 53416 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular chloride ion homeostasis; negative regulation of transport; and protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within monoatomic ion homeostasis; regulation of blood pressure; and regulation of inflammatory response. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is active in apical plasma membrane and cell body. Is expressed in brain and metanephros. Used to study Gitelman syndrome and pseudohypoaldosteronism. Orthologous to human STK39 (serine/threonine kinase 39). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced bumetanide-sensitive thallium, a potassium tracer, uptake in dorsal root ganglion neurons and reduced fertility. Mice with an ENU mutation in intron 8 exhibit elevated albumin-creatinine (ACR) ratios. [provided by MGI curators] |
