Primary Identifier | MGI:1332659 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 12177 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in regulation of mitophagy and regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of apoptotic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BNIP3L (BCL2 interacting protein 3 like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit abnormal morphology, decreased numbers and increased fragility of reticulocyte and erythcrocyte. [provided by MGI curators] |
