Primary Identifier | MGI:2136782 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 80748 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including collagen metabolic process; connective tissue replacement; and response to bleomycin. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including midbody; nucleolus; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane. Orthologous to human C6orf89 (chromosome 6 open reading frame 89). PHENOTYPE: Phenotypic analysis of mice homozygous for a gene trap allele indicates this mutation has no notable phenotype in any parameter tested. Another knock-out allele shows attenuation of pulmonary injury and fibrosis and enhanced autophagy in the lungs. [provided by MGI curators] |
