Primary Identifier | MGI:1915549 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 68299 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in protein targeting to lysosome and vesicle-mediated cholesterol transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including perinuclear region of cytoplasm; recycling endosome; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be part of EARP complex and GARP complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2E. Orthologous to human VPS53 (VPS53 subunit of GARP complex). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality prior to E12.5 with trophoblast cell hyperplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
