Primary Identifier | MGI:1346036 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 23988 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity; and phosphoprotein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of amyloid-beta formation; protein peptidyl-prolyl isomerization; and protein stabilization. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell population proliferation and regulation of cytokinesis. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage embryo; gut; nucleus pulposus; and reproductive system. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human PIN1 (peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase, NIMA-interacting 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes exhibit cell-proliferation abnormalities, including a late-developing reduction in body weight and progressive testicular and retinal atrophies. Mutant females fail to undergo mammary epithelial duct expansion associated with pregnancy. [provided by MGI curators] |
