Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 19248 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus and regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytosol and podosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; gut; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer. Orthologous to human PTPN12 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 12). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in early embryonic lethality, defective embryo turning, improper somitogenesis and vasculogenesis, impaired liver development, truncation of the caudal region and mesenchyme deficiency.
