Primary Identifier | MGI:1915107 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 67857 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and negative regulation of cGAS/STING signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; pancreas epithelium; and retina. Orthologous to human PPP6C (protein phosphatase 6 catalytic subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal embryonic development and embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in skin cells exhibit increased susceptibility to chemically induced skin tumors with increased proliferative and inflammatory responses in the skin.
