| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables growth hormone receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mammary gland development; negative regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including lung; retina; spleen; testis; and ureteric tip. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endometrial cancer and ovarian carcinoma. Orthologous to human SOCS2 (suppressor of cytokine signaling 2). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene cause accelerated postnatal growth. Homozygotes for a targeted mutation also show increased bone growth, enlargement of most organs, collagen deposition in the skin and some ducts and vessels, lower major urinary protein levels, and elevated IGF-I mRNA levels in some tissues.
