| Primary Identifier | MGI:96680 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16653 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables GTPase activity and protein-membrane adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; forebrain astrocyte development; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 3; arteriovenous malformations of the brain; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); pancreatic carcinoma (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome (multiple); cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and high grade glioma (multiple). Orthologous to human KRAS (KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality, decreased fetal growth, pericardial edema, anemia, and liver hypoplasia. Mice heterozygous for various knock-in alleles exhibit increased tumorigenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
