Primary Identifier | MGI:2143163 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 102626 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calmodulin binding activity; mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in macropinocytosis; response to lipopolysaccharide; and toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; naris; skin; urinary system; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patterned macular dystrophy 3. Orthologous to human MAPKAPK3 (MAPK activated protein kinase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and fertile and display normal tissue morphology, behavior, and LPS-induced production of cytokines. Eyes of homozygous null mice show defects in Bruch's membrane, with disorganized architecture and variability in thickness. [provided by MGI curators] |
