Primary Identifier | MGI:87881 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 11431 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables acid phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling. Located in cytosol and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; conduct disorder; diabetes mellitus (multiple); diabetic retinopathy; and obesity. Orthologous to human ACP1 (acid phosphatase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show an increased mean serum IL-6 response to LPS challenge. Male homozygotes are smaller than controls whereas female homozygotes show an increased mean skin fibroblast proliferation rate. Males homozygous for a different null allele show decreased response of heart to induced stress. [provided by MGI curators] |
