Primary Identifier | MGI:1354161 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 50721 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including NAD+-protein-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; NAD-dependent histone deacetylase activity; and TORC2 complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and regulation of protein localization. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; gonad; musculature; and retina. Used to study progeria. Orthologous to human SIRT6 (sirtuin 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display late postnatal lethality with lordokyphosis, progressive lymphopenia, loss of subcutaneous fat, reduced bone density, decreased serum glucose, increased chromosomal instability, and increased sensitivity to ionizing radiation. Some KO alleles cause retinal and corneal degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
