About Ulk1

Primary_assembly 12: 45,851,710-45,877,966 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026985.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 81.8), Adrenal (RPKM 77.1) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including HSP90 protein binding activity; Enzyme binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in neuron projection regeneration and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Located in axon. Used to study mucositis. Orthologous to human ULK1 (unc-51 like Autophagy activating kinase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
