description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable EP4 subtype prostaglandin E2 receptor binding activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of inflammatory response. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human FEM1A (fem-1 homolog A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in an increased susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis and colitis-associated tumorigenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
