Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mitogen-activated protein kinase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; regulation of bone mineralization; and regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade. Located in late endosome; mitochondrial intermembrane space; and phagophore assembly site. Colocalizes with autophagosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human NBR1 (NBR1 autophagy cargo receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice of the genetic truncation allele had an age-dependent increase in bone mass and bone mineral density. Mice homozygous for a floxed allele activated in T cells exhibit decreased ovalbumin-induced inflammation and defective Th2 polarization. [provided by MGI curators] |
