Primary Identifier | MGI:1203730 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18705 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity and 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase activity. Involved in chemotaxis and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process. Located in membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; central nervous system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PIK3C2G (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 2 gamma). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allelel exhibit reduced liver glucogen accumulation, hyperlipidemia, adiposity and insulin resistance with age or after consumption of a high-fat diet.
