About Ulk1

Chromosome 5: 110,932,354-110,957,963 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in thymus adult (RPKM 26.1), adrenal adult (RPKM 23.6) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables HSP90 protein binding activity; protein kinase binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amino acid starvation; macroautophagy; and response to mitochondrial depolarisation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; protein autophosphorylation; and regulation of neurotrophin Trk Receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; neuronal cell body; and phagophore assembly site membrane. Part of Atg1/ULK1 kinase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ULK1 (unc-51 like Autophagy activating kinase 1).
