Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 242669 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ornithine decarboxylase activator activity. Involved in positive regulation of catalytic activity and positive regulation of polyamine transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within ornithine metabolic process. Located in cis-Golgi network; endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane; and mitochondrion. Is expressed in eye; limb; nervous system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human AZIN2 (antizyme inhibitor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit decreased circulating insulin levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
