Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 16332 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable SH2 domain binding activity; inositol-polyphosphate 5-phosphatase activity; and phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intracellular signaling cassette; response to insulin; and ruffle assembly. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ear; respiratory system; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human INPPL1 (inositol polyphosphate phosphatase like 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice display decreased postnatal growth, decreased circulating levels of leptin, free fatty acids, triglycerides, and total cholesterol, and resistance to diet-induced obesity.
