Primary Identifier | MGI:105307 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 545622 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including ATPase binding activity; phosphotyrosine residue binding activity; and sodium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; regulation of membrane depolarization during action potential; and regulation of sodium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cranial ganglion; gut; nasal epithelium; submandibular gland primordium; and urinary system. Orthologous to human PTPN3 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased body weight, especially in males, and male mice exhibit increased bone mineral content. [provided by MGI curators] |
