Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ceramide binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of lysosomal membrane permeability. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endosome; lysosome; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; incisor; liver; retina; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human LAPTM4B (lysosomal protein transmembrane 4 beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects cardiomyocyte cell death, leading to exacerbation of ischemia-induced cardiac infarction.
