Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 51792 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Enables protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Involved in T cell homeostasis and negative regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nuclear division; peptidyl-serine dephosphorylation; and positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Located in cytosol. Part of protein phosphatase type 2A complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 36. Orthologous to human PPP2R1A (protein phosphatase 2 scaffold subunit Aalpha). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele that remove exons 5 and 6 exhibit embryonic lethality. Mice heterozygous for this allele exhibit increased benzopyrene-induced lung tumors.
