developmental stage:Expressed in fetal brain (at protein level).,disease:Defects in FGGY are associated with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) [MIM:105400]. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting upper and lower motor neurons and resulting in fatal paralysis. Sensory abnormalities are absent. Death usually occurs within 2 to 5 years. The etiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is likely to be multifactorial, involving both genetic and environmental factors.,similarity:Belongs to the FGGY kinase family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in kidney, lung and small intestine and to a lower extent in liver and detected in cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level).,
