Primary Identifier | MGI:88141 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 110279 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables GTPase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of blood vessel remodeling; negative regulation of cellular extravasation; and regulation of vascular permeability. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; negative regulation of macrophage migration; and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Located in cytosol; plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; forelimb bud; genitourinary system; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia; chronic myeloid leukemia; and leukemia. Orthologous to human BCR (BCR activator of RhoGEF and GTPase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants are defective in hormonal and behavioral stress response regulation and prone to septic shock, whereas chimeric mice carrying a BCR-ABL fusion mutation mimicking human Philadelphia chromosome develop chronic myeloid leukemia.
