Primary Identifier | MGI:108022 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 320795 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of B cell proliferation; regulation of germinal center formation; and spleen development. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and vascular system. Orthologous to human PKN1 (protein kinase N1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show spontaneous germinal center formation and autoantibody production and develop glomerulonephritis. Homozygotes for a different null allele have mild systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and show increased myocardial infarction size after ischemia-reperfusion injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
