    Summary
    The product of this gene is a serine/threonine protein kinase related to kinases involved in cell cycle regulation. Studies of the mouse and rat homologs have localized the kinase to the chromosomes during meiosis in spermatogenesis, specifically to the synaptonemal complex that exists while homologous chromosomes are paired. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ciliary defects resulting in retinitis pigmentosa 62. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

    2. The natural history of this individual's retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is consistent with previously described MAK mutations, being significantly milder than that associated with other photoreceptor ciliopathies. We suggest inclusion of MAK as part of wider genetic testing in all individuals presenting with RP.
      Title: Slowly progressive retinitis pigmentosa caused by two novel mutations in the MAK gene.
    3. We report the first case of leaking intraretinal cystoid spaces due to mutation in MAK. Mak regulates microtubule stability via phosphorylating RP1. Abnormal Mak may impact retinal photoreceptor ciliary length and subcompartmentalization.

    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.
