| Primary Identifier | MGI:1917514 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 225467 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heterocyclic compound binding activity; protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase activity; peptide binding activity; and small molecule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell cycle; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and protein geranylgeranylation. Part of CAAX-protein geranylgeranyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human PGGT1B (protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I subunit beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene blocks proliferation of primary mouse fibroblasts, disrupts the actin cytoskeleton, and results in altered cell morphology and reduced cell migration in a standard wound healing assay.
