Primary Identifier | MGI:1349436 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 26918 |
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 ATP binding activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress; positive regulation of JUN kinase activity; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in endoplasmic reticulum quality control compartment. Part of IRE1-TRAF2-ASK1 complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ERN2 (endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruption of this gene are generally normal but display an increased susceptibility to intestinal inflammation. [provided by MGI curators] |
