Primary Identifier | MGI:109283 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 18570 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium-dependent protein binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in response to calcium ion. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic process and positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Located in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human PDCD6 (programmed cell death 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted null mutation are viable, fertile and do not exhibit any developmental defects or immune dysfunction.
