| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in regulation of trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neurotransmitter secretion; and observational learning. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; growth cone; and nucleus. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PAK1 (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display defects in allergen-induced mast cell migration and degranulation. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit reduced long term potentiation. A C>T mutation at position 6 in the 3' UTR affects the use of the proximal poly(A) signal and reduces susceptibility to developing papillomas. [provided by MGI curators] |
