Primary Identifier | MGI:108407 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 19734 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GTPase activator activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of GTPase activity. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; limb mesenchyme; lip; neural retina; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human RGS16 (regulator of G protein signaling 16). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased fatty acid oxidation and circulating ketone levels when fed a high-fat diet. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit impaired Th1 and Th2 chemotaxis and increased susceptibility toparasitic infection. [provided by MGI curators] |
