Primary Identifier | MGI:1349721 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 22057 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables SMAD binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of BMP signaling pathway; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; back skin; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TOB1 (transducer of ERBB2, 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and exhibit increased bone mass due to increased osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. [provided by MGI curators] |
