Primary Identifier | MGI:2135625 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 93692 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glutathione disulfide oxidoreductase activity and sodium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of membrane potential. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GLRX (glutaredoxin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele do not exhibit any increased injury in response to oxidative insults to the heart or lungs but mouse embryonic fibroblast derived from these embryos are more sensative to diquat and paraqut and more resistant to apoptosis induced by TNF-alpha plus actinomyosin D.
