Primary Identifier | MGI:1860418 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 56174 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables N-acetylglucosamine kinase activity; N-acylmannosamine kinase activity; and muramyl dipeptide kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of nucleotide-binding activity oligomerization domain containing 2 signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within N-acetylglucosamine metabolic process. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; and spleen. Orthologous to human NAGK (N-acetylglucosamine kinase). PHENOTYPE: A gene trap insertion into an intron of this gene results in no obvious phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
