About Limk1

Chromosome 5: 134,684,893-134,717,452 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 262 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 11 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 15.2), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 14.2) and 27 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the LIM kinase family of proteins. This protein is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates actin polymerization via phosphorylation and inactivation of the actin binding factor cofilin. This protein also stimulates axon growth and may play a role in brain development. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit reduced bone mass, abnormal neuronal morphology and altered synaptic function. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene have been identified. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
