| Primary Identifier | MGI:1914639 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 67389 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables hormone activity. Involved in regulation of D-glucose import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; positive regulation of D-glucose import across plasma membrane; and positive regulation of cell communication. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in cochlea; genitourinary system; liver lobe; thyroid gland; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human C1QTNF12 (C1q and TNF related 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit diet- and sex-dependent alterations in glucose and lipid metabolism. [provided by MGI curators] |
