Primary Identifier | MGI:1203495 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 232714 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha-1,4-glucosidase activity and amylase activity. Predicted to be involved in dextrin catabolic process and maltose catabolic process. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; intestine; liver; midgut; and rectum. Orthologous to human MGAM (maltase-glucoamylase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display abnormalities in starch digestion and prandial glucose homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
