Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable G-protein alpha-subunit binding activity and GDP-dissociation inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; positive regulation of macroautophagy; and regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cell cortex. Predicted to colocalize with Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; genitourinary system; gut; integumental system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GPSM1 (G protein signaling modulator 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a lean phenotype, reduced fat mass, increased food consumption, increased nocturnal energy expenditure and altered blood pressure control mechanisms; surprisingly, their basal behavior and gross brain morphology remain normal.
