Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 102060 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; intestine epithelium; and secondary oocyte. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GADD45GIP1 (GADD45G interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display embryonic lethality before somite formation with decreased cell proliferation, increased apoptisis, and failure of inner cell mass outgrowth.
