| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Involved in several processes, including hair follicle cell proliferation; hair follicle morphogenesis; and positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Used to study palmoplantar keratoderma-esophageal carcinoma syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in palmoplantar keratoderma-esophageal carcinoma syndrome. Orthologous to human RHBDF2 (rhomboid 5 homolog 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display impaired TNF secretion and increased sensitivity to bacterial infection induced mortality.
