Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including adipose tissue development; response to dietary excess; and response to glucose. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; nose; and turbinate bone primordium. Orthologous to human RASAL2 (RAS protein activator like 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit reduced survival and decreased tumor latency. In other tumorigenic models, this allele promotes increase metastatic potential.
