Primary Identifier | MGI:1919311 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 72061 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable metalloaminopeptidase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within proteolysis. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia. Orthologous to human AOPEP (aminopeptidase O (putative)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one gene trapped allele are phenotypically normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
