Primary Identifier | MGI:1929514 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 56716 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of actin filament polymerization and positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Part of TORC1 complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human MLST8 (MTOR associated protein, LST8 homolog). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation exhibit lethality around E10.5 and abnormal yolk sac vasculature, brain development and heart development. [provided by MGI curators] |
