Gene: CASK
Alternate names for this Gene: CAGH39|CAMGUK|CMG|FGS4|LIN2|MICPCH|MRXSNA|TNRC8|hCASK
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase. The encoded protein is a MAGUK (membrane-associated guanylate kinase) protein family member. These proteins are scaffold proteins and the encoded protein is located at synapses in the brain. Mutations in this gene are associated with FG syndrome 4, intellectual disability and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia, and a form of X-linked intellectual disability. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: X
Location in Chromosome : Xp11.4
Description of this Gene: calcium/calmodulin dependent serine protein kinase
