| Primary Identifier | MGI:2442963 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 319909 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in negative regulation of angiogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; immune system; limb long bone; and lung. Orthologous to human ISM1 (isthmin 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in impaired glucose tolerance caused by reduced glucose uptake by brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Overexpression reduces de novo lipogenesis and promotes protein synthesis in hepatocytes. [provided by MGI curators] |
