Primary Identifier | MGI:1100856 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 17532 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP-dependent protein binding activity; GTPase activity; and guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; future spinal cord; limb bud; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Noonan syndrome 11. Orthologous to human MRAS (muscle RAS oncogene homolog). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an insertional mutation that inactivates the gene exhibit a decreased mean percentage of peripheral blood B cells but no other evidence of morphological or neurological defects; mutant astrocytes display normal responsiveness to different trophic factors.
