Primary Identifier | MGI:1861380 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 56632 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables D-erythro-sphingosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of immune effector process; regulation of biosynthetic process; and sphingolipid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development; brain development; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; respiratory system; telencephalon; and urinary system. Orthologous to human SPHK2 (sphingosine kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene display a normal phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
