Primary Identifier | MGI:88559 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 66473 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in ovary; pancreas; pancreas tip epithelium; and testis. Orthologous to human CTRB1 (chymotrypsinogen B1) and CTRB2 (chymotrypsinogen B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased susceptibility to induced pancreatitis with reduced intrapancreatic chymotrypsin activation. [provided by MGI curators] |
