Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable adenylate kinase activity; cytidylate kinase activity; and nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axoneme assembly; epithelial cilium movement involved in extracellular fluid movement; and inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Predicted to be located in motile cilium. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in lung; lung epithelium; and nasal cavity respiratory epithelium. Used to study hydrocephalus and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 27. Orthologous to human AK7 (adenylate kinase 7).
