| Research Abstract |
We have made the kinase dead knock-in mouse with replacement of the key residue for ATP binding in kinase domain to investigate a possible role of kinase activity f TRPM7. This mutant mouse grows normally, but show significant abnormality of cholesterol metabolism. In addition, we identified the cholesterol secretion from hepatocyte was severely defect in these mutant mouse.
