Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adipose tissue development; corticosterone secretion; and response to selenium ion. Located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; hindbrain; sensory organ; ventral grey horn; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human SELENOM (selenoprotein M). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit obesity without cognitive deficits. [provided by MGI curators] |
