Primary Identifier | MGI:88541 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 12991 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in lactation and negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in mammary gland. Orthologous to human CSN2 (casein beta). PHENOTYPE: Female mice homozygous for disruption of this gene produce mile with a low protein content and poor nutritional value. [provided by MGI curators] |
