description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable beta-galactosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in galactose catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in vacuole. Is expressed in foregut-midgut junction; molar; nose; urinary system; and vestibulo-cochlear ganglion. Orthologous to human GLB1L2 (galactosidase beta 1 like 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice show decreased mean white blood cell and lymphocyte counts and a decreased mean percentage of natural killer cells. Male mutant mice exhibit impaired glucose tolerance. [provided by MGI curators] |
