Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20416 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables epidermal growth factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in 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 endosome membrane. Predicted to be part of Shc-EGFR complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; early conceptus; liver; skeleton; 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] |
