Primary Identifier | MGI:2145021 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 217410 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and ubiquitin-protein transferase regulator activity. Involved in negative regulation of fat cell differentiation and positive regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human TRIB2 (tribbles pseudokinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit nitrituria. Female homozygotes display decreased circulating triglyceride levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
