Primary Identifier | MGI:1917834 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 70584 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to organic cyclic compound and dendritic spine development. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PAK4 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die at midgestation exhibiting heart defects as well as impaired neuronal development and yolk sac vasculature. [provided by MGI curators] |
