| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables cAMP response element binding protein binding activity and protein C-terminal S-isoprenylcysteine carboxyl O-methyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including TOR signaling; determination of adult lifespan; and regulation of Ras protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ICMT (isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Targeted null mutations result in reduced embryo size and death by E12. At E10.5, embryos homozygous for one null allele show severe anemia, extensive apoptosis in the neural tube and forebrain region, and liver agenesis due to a dramatic delay in albumin induction and failed hepatocyte outgrowth.
