Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and SH2 domain binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of epithelial cell migration; positive regulation of mesenchymal cell proliferation; and regulation of cell size. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ARHGAP5 (Rho GTPase activating protein 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes die at birth, are 30% smaller, do not inflate their lungs, and show a small thymus, abnormal adipocyte differentiation and brain defects in the corpus callosum, anterior commissure and lateral ventricles. Mutant MEFs show impaired adipogenesis but undergo myogenesis in response to IGF-1. [provided by MGI curators] |
