Primary Identifier | MGI:1914853 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 67603 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Enables phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein phosphorylation; protein dephosphorylation; and regulation of heart growth. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; renal cortex; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 19 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human DUSP6 (dual specificity phosphatase 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous or heterozygous for a null mutation display partial penetrance of postnatal lethality, reduced body weight, and abnormal growth plate morphology.
