Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; cellular response to X-ray; and long-term memory. Located in nucleus. Part of cyclin D2-CDK4 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); ductal carcinoma in situ; hepatitis B; and liver cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human CCND2 (cyclin D2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation are sterile: females lack a granulosa cell response to follicle stimulating hormone, while males have hypoplastic testes. Mutants also show decreased cerebellar granule cell and stellate neuron populations. [provided by MGI curators] |
