Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 108097 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to contribute to AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex and nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; gallbladder; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human PRKAB2 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased exercise endurance, muscle force, muscle and liver glycogen, and skeletal muscle fiber size and increased susceptibility to diet induced obesity and hyperinsulinemia.
