Primary Identifier | MGI:88065 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 11836 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable MAP kinase kinase kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including MAPK cascade; regulation of TOR signaling; and regulation of protein metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human ARAF (A-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous females or hemizygous males for a null targeted mutation show variable genetic background effects, from preweaning death, wasting, tremors, distended colon and small thymus to normal survival and breeding with mild neurological defects.
