description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to contribute to guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; positive regulation of interleukin-8 production; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP and Ragulator complex. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human LAMTOR5 (late endosomal/lysosomal adaptor, MAPK and MTOR activator 5). PHENOTYPE: Pancreatic beta-cell specific knockout mice exhibit higher fasting blood gluose levels, impaired glucose tolerance and decreased insulin secretion from islets. [provided by MGI curators] |
