Primary Identifier | MGI:1914186 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 65973 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and peptidyl-aspartic acid 3-dioxygenase activity. Involved in regulation of protein depolymerization and regulation of protein stability. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; limb morphogenesis; and peptidyl-aspartic acid hydroxylation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum; eye; face; heart; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholangiocarcinoma. Orthologous to human ASPH (aspartate beta-hydroxylase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a mutation lacking aspartyl beta-hydroxylase expression exhibit syndactyly, facial dysmorphology, mild hard palate defects, and reduced female fertility.
