Primary Identifier | MGI:88413 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 12715 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables creatine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphocreatine biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CKM (creatine kinase, M-type). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display abnormalities in function and energy utilization of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. [provided by MGI curators] |
