Primary Identifier | MGI:1916823 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 69573 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including autocrine signaling; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of lipid storage. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell surface; nucleoplasm; and secretory granule. Predicted to be active in lipid droplet. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human HILPDA (hypoxia inducible lipid droplet associated). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired thermoregulation in fasted mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
