Primary Identifier | MGI:3589109 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 433323 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase activity. Involved in regulation of type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human SGPP2 (sphingosine-1-phosphate phosphatase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased pancreatic beta cell endoplasmic reticulum stress under basal conditions and decreased adaptive beta cell proliferation in response to treatment with either a high-fat diet or the beta cell-specific toxin, streptozotocin.
