Primary Identifier | MGI:1916188 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 68938 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within glucose homeostasis; intracellular protein transport; and regulation of D-glucose import. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and vesicle membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar soft part sarcoma. Orthologous to human ASPSCR1 (ASPSCR1 tether for SLC2A4, UBX domain containing). PHENOTYPE: Muscle-specific knock-out mice show abnormal glucose homeostasis, increased susceptibility to obesity and reduced energy expenditure when fed a high-fat diet, and increased weight gain and fat mass when at thermoneutrality.
