Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable beta-3 adrenergic receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fat pad development; negative regulation of adenylate cyclase-activating adrenergic receptor signaling pathway; and negative regulation of locomotion involved in locomotory behavior. Predicted to be located in early endosome and lysosome. Predicted to be active in endosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; liver; lung; olfactory epithelium; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human ARRDC3 (arrestin domain containing 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit resistance to age-related obesity, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis. Mice homozygous for a different gene trap allele exhibit resistance to obesity, embryonic lethality when dams are fed a standard chow and dandruff due to very thin skin. [provided by MGI curators] |
