Primary Identifier | MGI:1913277 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 58799 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in locomotory exploration behavior and negative regulation of large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel activity. Predicted to be located in nucleus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of Cul4A-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; aorta; central nervous system; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 2. Orthologous to human CRBN (cereblon). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired contextual conditioning behavior. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit resistance to diet-induced obesity, liver steatosis, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. [provided by MGI curators] |
