Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including lipid binding activity; non-membrane spanning protein tyrosine kinase activity; and phosphotyrosine residue binding activity. Acts upstream of or within defense response to Gram-positive bacterium and phagocytosis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including caveola; cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; and focal adhesion. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with actin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage embryo; bone; eye; limb; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HCK (HCK proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Macrophages from mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation exhibit impaired phagocytosis.
