Primary Identifier | MGI:1915678 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 68428 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cupric reductase (NADH) activity and ferric-chelate reductase (NADPH) activity. Acts upstream of or within exosomal secretion; positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator; and transition metal ion transport. Located in endosome membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; genitourinary system; liver; nervous system; and white fat. Orthologous to human STEAP3 (STEAP3 metalloreductase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene results in microcytic anemia, increased erythrocyte cell number, abnormal reticulocyte morphology, anisopoikilocytosis, decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin, decreased mean corpuscular volume, and thrombocytosis.
