Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 69983 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable alpha-1,4-glucosidase activity; beta-fructofuranosidase activity; and oligo-1,6-glucosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in sucrose catabolic process. Located in membrane. Is expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency. Orthologous to human SI (sucrase-isomaltase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are leaner on a sucrose-containing diet despite normal caloric intake, and show significantly higher plasma acetate levels in response to a sucrose gavage and lower plasma glucose levels in response to a sucrose-tolerance test.
