Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables oligosaccharyltransferase complex binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell apoptotic process; protein N-linked glycosylation; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be part of oligosaccharyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human TMEM258 (transmembrane protein 258). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality while heterozygotes exhibit increased susceptibility to DSS-induced colitis associated with increased endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Homozygous deficiency in colonic organoids results in unresolved ER stress and apoptosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
