| Primary Identifier | MGI:101842 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 18778 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phospholipase A2 activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; glycerophospholipid metabolic process; and positive regulation of podocyte apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within phospholipid catabolic process. Located in extracellular region. Is expressed in liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human PLA2G1B (phospholipase A2 group IB). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display abnormalities in lipid absorption, increased insulin sensitivity and improved glucose tolerance. [provided by MGI curators] |
