Primary Identifier | MGI:1916314 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 69064 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables L-fucose mutarotase activity and fucose binding activity. Involved in GDP-L-fucose salvage and fucose metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within female mating behavior; fucosylation; and negative regulation of neuron differentiation. Is active in cytosol. Orthologous to human FUOM (fucose mutarotase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit reduced female sexual receptivity and masculinized sexual behaviors in female mice. Heterozygous mice exhibit intermediate phenotypes.
