Ulk2 - unc-51 like kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as Unc51.2; mKIAA0623; A830085I22Rik
Species: Mus musculus
About Ulk2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis adult (RPKM 33.4), CNS E18 (RPKM 21.5) and 26 other tissues.
Summary
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in Autophagy and response to starvation. Acts upstream of or within axon extension and negative regulation of collateral sprouting. Located in phagophore assembly site membrane. Is expressed in facial bone primordium; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ULK2 (unc-51 like Autophagy activating kinase 2).
