Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides and serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bradykinin biosynthetic process; left ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis; and tissue kallikrein-kinin cascade. Predicted to be located in acrosomal vesicle; apical part of cell; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and secretory granule. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy; chronic kidney disease; end stage renal disease; hypertension; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to several human genes including KLK1 (kallikrein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display decreased left ventricular contractility, cardiac output, and stroke volume, a thin left ventricular wall, and impaired vasodilation.
