Primary Identifier | MGI:2159614 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 338320 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cargo receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis and triglyceride homeostasis. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum exit site and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; embryo; and liver. Orthologous to several human genes including MIA2 (MIA SH3 domain ER export factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit decreased serum levels of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and VLDL triglyceride. [provided by MGI curators] |
