Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable S-methyl-5-thioadenosine phosphorylase activity. Acts upstream of or within methylation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in biliary tract benign neoplasm and diaphyseal medullary stenosis with malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Orthologous to human MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele die by E8.5. Heterozygotes display no significant hearing loss up to 6 months of age. [provided by MGI curators] |
