Primary Identifier | MGI:3050566 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 238161 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including enzyme binding activity; protein kinase A regulatory subunit binding activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cation transmembrane transport; positive regulation of protein metabolic process; and regulation of muscle system process. Located in nuclear membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in gut; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anorexia nervosa and ovary epithelial cancer. Orthologous to human AKAP6 (A-kinase anchoring protein 6). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disruption of this gene results in partial embryonic lethality; surviving homozygotes display a decreased body weight, craniofacial defects and reduced viability.
