description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Is expressed in heart; lung; tongue muscle; and vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human MIR133A1 (microRNA 133a-1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable with no apparent defects in behavior, weight, or life span. [provided by MGI curators] |
