Primary Identifier | MGI:1923055 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 75805 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptidase activity and peptide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of gluconeogenesis and regulation of skeletal muscle fiber differentiation. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human NLN (neurolysin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and gluconeogensis. Mice also show decreased body weight and run less in a low intensity regime to exhaustion. [provided by MGI curators] |
