Primary Identifier | MGI:88015 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 229665 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables AMP deaminase activity. Involved in IMP salvage. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; foregut; liver; lung; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. Orthologous to human AMPD1 (adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit alterations in nucleotide metabolism but show normal muscle performance in different exercise protocols. [provided by MGI curators] |
