Primary Identifier | MGI:96904 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 17113 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable retromer complex binding activity. Involved in lysosomal transport. Acts upstream of or within secretion of lysosomal enzymes. Located in late endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver and biliary system; and skin. Orthologous to human M6PR (mannose-6-phosphate receptor, cation dependent). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene are fertile and display no visible phenotypic abnormalities; however, serum levels of lysosomal enzymes are elevated.
