Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 11648 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable alkaline phosphatase activity; metal ion binding activity; and protease binding activity. Acts upstream of or within neural tube development; neurogenesis; and post-anal tail morphogenesis. Located in brush border. Is expressed in duodenum; intestine; and jejunum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory bowel disease. Orthologous to human ALPG (alkaline phosphatase, germ cell) and ALPI (alkaline phosphatase, intestinal). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene show no gross abnormalities in appearance, behavior or fertility. They do display accelerated lipid absorption on a high fat diet leading to elevated plasma triglycerides and increased weight gain. [provided by MGI curators] |
