Primary Identifier | MGI:1338030 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 12339 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable MIT domain binding activity and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in proteolysis. Predicted to be located in centrosome and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human CAPN7 (calpain 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene frequently die before weaning. Survivors display reduced body weight. [provided by MGI curators] |
