Primary Identifier | MGI:1928901 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 59020 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity; protein-membrane adaptor activity; and scavenger receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane; protein localization to plasma membrane; and regulation of monoatomic anion transport. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in brush border membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; lung; thymus; and white fat. Orthologous to several human genes including PDZK1 (PDZ domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in increased serum cholesterol levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
