Primary Identifier | MGI:1926609 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 60599 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables antioxidant activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of fibroblast proliferation; negative regulation of myofibroblast differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to ethanol; cellular response to hydroperoxide; and cellular response to methyl methanesulfonate. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome 1. Orthologous to human TP53INP1 (tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased plasma and colon oxidative stress, and show increased susceptibility to experimental induction of colorectal tumorigenesis and acute colitis.
