Primary Identifier | MGI:102683 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 14786 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; phosphatidylinositol binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of translation and stress granule assembly. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human GRB7 (growth factor receptor bound protein 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and survive to adulthood with no overt abnormalities. However, litters born to knockout females fail to thrive to weaning age.
