Primary Identifier | MGI:1919792 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 72542 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. Involved in necroptotic process and negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human PGAM5 (PGAM family member 5, mitochondrial serine/threonine protein phosphatase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show Parkinson-like movement, dopaminergic neuron loss, and altered mitochondrial homeostasis. Homozygotes for a different null allele are smaller, with males born at sub-Mendelian ratios. Macrophages show impaired inflammasome activation and IL-1beta secretion. [provided by MGI curators] |
