Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 20209 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Involved in response to stilbenoid. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic microtubule. Predicted to be part of high-density lipoprotein particle. Is expressed in adrenal gland; liver; and metanephros. Orthologous to human SAA1 (serum amyloid A1) and SAA2 (serum amyloid A2). PHENOTYPE: The CE/J strain produces a mutant form of Saa2 and is not susceptible to amyloidosis, as are mice of most other inbred strains. M. caroli, M. spretus and M.m. Czech produce variant Saa2 isoforms and M.m. Czech is also reistant to amyloidosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
