Primary Identifier | MGI:1923020 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 75770 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase binding activity and tau-protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization involved in establishment of planar polarity; regulation of axonogenesis; and regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Acts upstream of or within neuron projection morphogenesis and peptidyl-serine phosphorylation. Predicted to be located in distal axon and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human BRSK2 (BR serine/threonine kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are healthy and fertile. Mice homozygous for a condition allele activated in sensory and motor neurons exhibit partial neonatal lethality, hypokinesis, absnece of gastric milk and abnormal type Ia proprioceptive sensory neuron projections [provided by MGI curators] |
