Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 232685 |
Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in several processes, including bone mineralization; hair follicle development; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Acts upstream of or within adult somatic muscle development and skin development. Orthologous to human LINC-PINT (long intergenic non-protein coding RNA, p53 induced transcript). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display decreased body weight. Mice homozygous for a different null allele show premature aging phenotypes including progressive fur loss and muscle weakness, lordokyphosis, reduced body fat and bone mineral density, a slower growth rate, and reduced survival.
