Primary Identifier | MGI:1351326 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 27206 |
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 parturition; positive regulation of JNK cascade; and regulation of spongiotrophoblast cell proliferation. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; musculature; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human NRK (Nik related kinase). PHENOTYPE: Mice nullizygous for a knock-out allele exhibit partial lethality during delivery associated with enlarged placental and spongiotrophoblast layer and enduce dystocia in birthing dams.
