Primary Identifier | MGI:95655 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 14451 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oxysterol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell growth; odontogenesis; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; nervous system development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GAS1 (growth arrest specific 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene experience background sensitive reduction of viability. Developmental defects are found in the eyes, cerebellum and limbs.
