Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 112406 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ferrous iron binding activity; oxygen sensor activity; and peptidyl-proline 4-dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell redox homeostasis; cellular response to hypoxia; and peptidyl-proline hydroxylation to 4-hydroxy-L-proline. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; hippocampus; and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human EGLN2 (egl-9 family hypoxia inducible factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes are viable with no apparent abnormalities in cardiovascular, hematopoietic, or placental morphology and development. [provided by MGI curators] |
