Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable NAD+-protein poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and enzyme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in nuclear envelope; pericentriolar material; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human TNKS2 (tankyrase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable but display decreased body weight and abnormal adipocyte glucose uptake in response to insulin stimulation. Mice homozygous for a different null allele show partial postnatal lethality as well as decreased body weight. [provided by MGI curators] |
