| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including insulin receptor signaling pathway; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of protein import into nucleus. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell adhesion; regulation of actin filament organization; and regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in focal adhesion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; genitourinary system; liver; musculature; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human PIK3R2 (phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have lower blood glucose levels both when fed and after fasting. Insulin sensitivity is improved as well. Homozygosity for the p.G367R mutation leads to enlarged brains and brain ventricles. [provided by MGI curators] |
