Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 109323 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and skeleton. Orthologous to human C1QTNF7 (C1q and TNF related 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased weight, liver fibrosis, male-specific glucose serum levels and adipose inflammation with male-specific improved glucose tolerance when fed a high-fat diet.
