Primary Identifier | MGI:1929600 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 65112 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable R-SMAD binding activity and WW domain binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction and negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane and early endosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human PMEPA1 (prostate transmembrane protein, androgen induced 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased bone volume, decreased osteoclast cell number, deduction in eroded surface per bone surface, and decreased bone resorption.
