Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 14917 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables guanylate cyclase activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell population proliferation and response to toxic substance. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; and spinal cord. Used to study abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea 6. Orthologous to human GUCY2C (guanylate cyclase 2C). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and have an increased resistance to heat-stable enterotoxins. [provided by MGI curators] |
