Primary Identifier | MGI:2686651 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 241950 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intraciliary transport; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and photoreceptor cell maintenance. Predicted to be located in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12. Orthologous to human BBS12 (Bardet-Biedl syndrome 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit enhanced adipogenesis, late onset obesity, increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity, increased insulin sensitivity, increased glucose usage, and decreased inflammatory response.
