Primary Identifier | MGI:88046 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 11803 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable adrenergic receptor binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytosolic mRNA polyadenylation; extracellular matrix organization; and regulation of translation. Located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nervous system; pancreas trunk epithelium; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human APLP1 (amyloid beta precursor like protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Animals homozygous for a mutation in this gene show a 10% decrease in body weight at 9 weeks of age.
