Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein catabolic process; positive regulation of Wnt protein secretion; and positive regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb bud; lung; and spinal ganglion. Orthologous to human TMEM132A (transmembrane protein 132A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele die at birth exhibiting a range of malformations, including spina bifida, caudal body truncation, underdeveloped limb buds, forelimb syndactyly, lung and renal defects, and a shortened colon.
