Primary Identifier | MGI:109341 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 14049 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic signaling pathway; protein dephosphorylation; and striated muscle tissue development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; non-neural ectoderm; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EYA2 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit mild hearing loss and small thymus. [provided by MGI curators] |
