Atm - ataxia telangiectasia mutated

Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA recombination; animal organ development; and meiotic nuclear division. Located in cytoplasm; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study ataxia telangiectasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including colorectal cancer; endometrial cancer; lung carcinoma (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); and senile cataract. Orthologous to human ATM (ATM serine/threonine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
