Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 28084 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of epidermal growth factor-activated receptor activity and protein transport to vacuole involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; facial prominence; limb bud; and lung. Orthologous to human VPS25 (vacuolar protein sorting 25 homolog). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality before E8.5. Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit short limbs, polydactyly and craniofacial defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
