Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 19275 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase binding activity; spectrin binding activity; and ubiquitin-like protein ligase binding activity. Involved in insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; luteinization; and positive regulation of type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; axon terminus; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in secretory granule and synapse. Is expressed in lens vesicle and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PTPRN (protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type N). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene on a NOD background display insulitis and increased susceptibility to autoimmune diabetes. [provided by MGI curators] |
