Primary Identifier | MGI:95700 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 110175 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in lens. Orthologous to human GGCT (gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit splenomegaly and progressive anemia associated with oxidative stress and reduced red blood cell life span. [provided by MGI curators] |
