Primary Identifier | MGI:1888525 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 57259 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables nuclear vitamin D receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of osteoclast differentiation; positive regulation of ossification; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Meckel's cartilage; genitourinary system; liver; orbito-sphenoid; and spleen. Orthologous to human TOB2 (transducer of ERBB2, 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation display reduced bone mass due to increased osteoclast numbers and acceleration of the bone resorption rate. [provided by MGI curators] |
