Primary Identifier | MGI:1889549 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 56338 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables enzyme inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and protein import into nucleus. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study Reye syndrome and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human TXNIP (thioredoxin interacting protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display impaired natural killer cell development and activity, hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue in the ileum, and increased T cell proliferation. Lipid metabolism and blood clotting were also affected by another null mutation. [provided by MGI curators] |
