Primary Identifier | MGI:1921392 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 74142 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; ATP-dependent peptidase activity; and DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; proteolysis; and regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; genitourinary system; gut; lung; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in CODAS syndrome. Orthologous to human LONP1 (lon peptidase 1, mitochondrial). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality with embryonic growth retardation, small size and decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mice heterozygous for this allele exhibit reduced chemically-induced tumors. [provided by MGI curators] |
