Primary Identifier | MGI:2135951 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 93734 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitochondrial ribosome assembly; negative regulation of hydrogen peroxide biosynthetic process; and negative regulation of mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization involved in apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human MPV17L (MPV17 mitochondrial inner membrane protein like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit enlarged pancreatic islets and improved glucose tolerance. [provided by MGI curators] |
