Primary Identifier | MGI:2446296 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 70661 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and tau-protein kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within endochondral bone morphogenesis; limb morphogenesis; and regulation of protein localization. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in Meckel's cartilage and vibrissa. Orthologous to human SIK3 (SIK family kinase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired chondrocyte hypertrophy during development, neonatal lethality and reduced size. Mice homozygous for a gain of function ENU mutation exhibit decreased total wake time, owing to an increase in inherent sleep need. [provided by MGI curators] |
