Primary Identifier | MGI:1920334 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 241656 |
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. Acts upstream of or within learning or memory; locomotory behavior; and negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in brain and sciatic nerve. Orthologous to human PAK5 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit impaired active avoidance learning but are otherwise normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
