Primary Identifier | MGI:2142824 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 330721 |
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 positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and positive regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation. Is expressed in choroid invagination; diencephalon roof plate; medulla oblongata part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus; and metencephalon part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus. Orthologous to human NEK5 (NIMA related kinase 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit progressive hearing impairment. [provided by MGI curators] |
