Primary Identifier | MGI:1855689 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 53602 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ganglia; and retina layer. Orthologous to human HPCAL1 (hippocalcin like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased susceptibility to diethylnitrosamine/CCl4-induced liver tumors with increased lipid biosynthesis in tumors. [provided by MGI curators] |
