Primary Identifier | MGI:2442191 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 319520 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphoprotein phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dephosphorylation; endoderm formation; and negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human DUSP4 (dual specificity phosphatase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit a decrease in B cell apoptosis of bone marrow-derived, IL-7-dependent pro-B lymphocytes. [provided by MGI curators] |
