Summary
Enables histone binding activity. Involved in response to cold; response to ethanol; and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Used to study familial hypercholesterolemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycerol kinase deficiency. Orthologous to human GK (glycerol kinase).

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. To further elucidate the contributions of the enzymatic (phosphorylation) and alternative (ASTP) functions of GK in adipogenesis, we performed experiments on mammalian GK and E. coli GK. We determined that the ASTP function of GK (which is absent in E. coli GK) plays a greater role than the enzymatic activity in these processes.
    Title: The ATP-stimulated translocation promoter (ASTP) activity of glycerol kinase plays central role in adipogenesis.
  2. This systems biology approach further emphasizes glucose kinase's essential role in central and lipid metabolism and experimentally verifies lucose kinase's alternative function of affecting glucocorticoid receptor transcription factor activity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
