Primary Identifier | MGI:97594 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 18749 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP binding activity; cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Involved in protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway; neural tube closure; and regulation of protein processing. Located in ciliary base. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver and biliary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human PRKACB (protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation eliminating the Cbeta1 subunit exhibit impaired hippocampal plasticity, including failure of low frequency stimulation to produce lasting depression and the elimination of mossy fiber long term potentiation.
