Primary Identifier | MGI:1336166 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 12633 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables peptidase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of myoblast fusion; skeletal muscle atrophy; and skeletal myofibril assembly. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; negative regulation of necroptotic process; and response to bacterium. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; heart; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human CFLAR (CASP8 and FADD like apoptosis regulator). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality by E10.5. Mutant embryos exhibit cardiac developmental abnormalities and pooling of blood in the head and abdominal regions.
