Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 70461 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable cAMP response element binding protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including energy homeostasis; negative regulation of adenylate cyclase-activating adrenergic receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human CRTC3 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display resistance to diet-induced obesity, increased energy expenditure, decreased white adipose tissue mass, increased brown adipose cell numbers, and increased core temperature.
