Primary Identifier | MGI:88313 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 12443 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase regulator activity; protein kinase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of epithelial cell differentiation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; liver regeneration; and mammary gland development. Located in bicellular tight junction; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Part of cyclin D1-CDK4 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); colorectal cancer; hematologic cancer (multiple); invasive lobular carcinoma; and von Hippel-Lindau disease. Orthologous to human CCND1 (cyclin D1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted mutations may exhibit reduced body size and viability, impaired retinal development, pregnancy-insensitive mammary glands, and modified development of mammary cancer induced by neu and ras oncogenes, depending on the specific allele or genetic background.
