Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 23938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables MAP kinase kinase activity. Involved in insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within MAPK cascade and heart development. Located in spindle. Is expressed in early conceptus; oocyte; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human MAP2K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants die at E10.5 and exhibit abnormal cardiac development and a decrease in proliferation and an increase in apoptosis in the heart, head, and dorsal regions of the embryo.
