Primary Identifier | MGI:2139740 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 242083 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within MAPK cascade and cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; gut; limb segment; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PPM1L (protein phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ dependent 1L). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show increased body weight and total fat mass, higher blood pressure and plasma glucose levels, lower free fatty acid levels and improved glucose tolerance. Homozygotes for another null allele show postnatal lethality, motor deficits and altered forebrain morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
