Primary Identifier | MGI:2442609 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 207742 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable frizzled binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway and stem cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum; membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; forelimb epidermis; genitourinary system; lung; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in endometrial cancer; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); irritable bowel syndrome; lung adenocarcinoma; and villous adenoma. Orthologous to human RNF43 (ring finger protein 43). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout leads to hyperproliferation of stomach epithelium and increases the severity of chronic H. pylori infection pathology. [provided by MGI curators] |
