Primary Identifier | MGI:1201407 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 20399 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of mitotic nuclear division and regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within cell motility and lamellipodium assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol and ruffle. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in dorsal aorta. Orthologous to human SH2B1 (SH2B adaptor protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are infertile. Female mice have small, anovulatory ovaries with reduced numbers of follicles and male mice exhibit small testes and sperm deficits. Mice homozygous for a floxed allele activated in the pancreas exhibit impaired glucose homeostasis when fed a high fat diet. [provided by MGI curators] |
