Primary Identifier | MGI:107757 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 11692 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity and flavin-dependent sulfhydryl oxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including liver regeneration; negative regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; and positive regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in kidney failure and renal fibrosis. Orthologous to human GFER (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality before E9.5. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele are embryonic lethal, while heterozygotes display impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and decreased liver degeneration following partial hepatectomy or acute liver injury.
