Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 19079 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein kinase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within nail development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human PRKAB1 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit beta 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a gene trap allele exhibit altered brain development, seizures, and postnatal death. Homozygotes for a null allele are protected from diet-induced obesity and hepatic insulin resistance. Homozygotes for another null allele show microcytic anemia and extramedullary hematopoiesis.
