About Gk

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).
