| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 18176 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in positive regulation of angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; defense response to protozoan; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study skin melanoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Noonan syndrome 6; autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 4; endocrine gland cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human NRAS (NRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation are viable and fertile with no gross morphological or histological abnormalities, or defects in peripheral blood cell populations. Mice homozygous for an LTR insertion in intron 1 exhibit weight loss immune defectsand postnatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
