Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12183 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables bisphosphoglycerate mutase activity. Involved in glycolytic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to protozoan; erythrocyte development; and oxygen transport. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebral cortex; liver; oocyte; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial erythrocytosis 8. Orthologous to human BPGM (bisphosphoglycerate mutase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygosity for an ENU-induced point mutation has protective effect against cerebral malaria and severe malarial anemia owing to increased erythropoiesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
