| Primary Identifier | MGI:98296 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20416 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables epidermal growth factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in B cell receptor signaling pathway; insulin receptor signaling pathway; and insulin-like growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endosome membrane. Predicted to be part of Shc-EGFR complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 8-cell stage conceptus; blastocyst-stage conceptus; cerebral cortex; early embryo; and skin. Orthologous to human SHC1 (SHC adaptor protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes with a targeted mutation of the exon encoding the CH2 region show an extended life span, reduced cellular sensitivity to oxidative stress and UV irradiation, and resistance to diet-induced atherogenesis. Homozygotes lacking all three isoformsdie around E11.5 with cardiovascular defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
