Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 68054 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molecular function inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; positive regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Is expressed in back skin. Orthologous to human SERPINA12 (serpin family A member 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice hmomozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased body weight, epididymal fat pad weight, liver weight, fat cell size, serum total and small density LDL cholesterol, serum leptin, liver triglyceride and insulin resistance when fed a high fat, high sucrose diet.
