Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable pantothenate kinase activity and phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in coenzyme A biosynthetic process and coenzyme A catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol; extracellular space; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ear; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study cataract. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract. Orthologous to human PANK4 (pantothenate kinase 4 (inactive)).
