Primary Identifier | MGI:105051 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 16706 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; ATP binding activity; and Hsp90 protein binding activity. Involved in Ras protein signal transduction; regulation of MAP kinase activity; and regulation of cell population proliferation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human KSR1 (kinase suppressor of ras 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit disorganized hair follicles and a decreased susceptibility to papilloma formation.
