Primary Identifier | MGI:2444308 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 235040 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; cysteine-type exopeptidase activity; and protein-phosphatidylethanolamide deconjugating activity. Involved in protein delipidation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human ATG4D (autophagy related 4D cysteine peptidase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit cerebellar neurodegeneration and ataxia with synaptic clusters of GABA-A receptors. [provided by MGI curators] |
