| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 18747 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of triglyceride catabolic process; regulation of carbohydrate metabolic process; and sperm capacitation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to parathyroid hormone stimulus; embryonic morphogenesis; and protein phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal vesicle; ciliary base; and sperm flagellum. Part of cAMP-dependent protein kinase complex. Is active in cytosol; glutamatergic synapse; and lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; musculature; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adrenal cortical adenoma; congestive heart failure; fibrolamellar carcinoma; and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease 4. Orthologous to human PRKACA (protein kinase cAMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are highly susceptible to perinatal lethality. Surviving mice are runted and while spermatogenesis progresses normally, mature sperm shows impaired motility. [provided by MGI curators] |
