Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including GTP-dependent protein binding activity; membrane curvature sensor activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular protein transport; macroautophagy; and regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; nucleolus; and ruffle. Predicted to be active in trans-Golgi network membrane. Orthologous to human ARFIP2 (ARF interacting protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit greater diabetic nephropathy following streptozotocin injection, with increased food process effacement, albuminuria, and impaired autophagy but no differences in blood glucose levels.
