Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 69080 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including GDP-mannose biosynthetic process; motor behavior; and neuron apoptotic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; and gonad. Used to study alacrima, achalasia, and impaired intellectual development syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alacrima, achalasia, and impaired intellectual development syndrome. Orthologous to human GMPPA (GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit cortical layer defects, progressive neuron loss, myopathic alterations, progressive muscle weakness, cognitive impairments, and increased serum mannose levels.
