Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 233328 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bone resorption; osteoclast development; and regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Used to study osteopetrosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteosclerotic metaphyseal dysplasia. Orthologous to human LRRK1 (leucine rich repeat kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit preweaning lethality. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit severe osteopetrosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
