Primary Identifier | MGI:1923422 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 109042 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within cortical actin cytoskeleton organization; negative regulation of fermentation; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Located in caveola and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; heart valve; and integumental system. Orthologous to human CAVIN3 (caveolae associated protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased body weight, severe lipodystrophy, hepatic steatosis, increased fermentative glycolysis in lung tissue, and premature death as a result of cachexia.
