Primary Identifier | MGI:2444273 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 320560 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of triglyceride transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Orthologous to human DENND5B (DENN domain containing 5B). PHENOTYPE: Knockout decreases triglyceride absorption, and reduces susceptibility to weight gain and atherosclerosis when fed Western diet. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit normal blood lymphocyte populations. [provided by MGI curators] |
