Primary Identifier | MGI:1915651 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 68401 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glucose-6-phosphatase activity. Involved in gluconeogenesis. Acts upstream of or within glucose-6-phosphate transport. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in severe congenital neutropenia 4. Orthologous to human G6PC3 (glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in females, but not males, that are growth retarded and weight less and exhibit elevated plasma glucagon levels but lowered plasma cholesterols after fasting.
