Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in regulation of blood pressure. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and skin. Orthologous to human ARHGEF12 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased sensitivity to certain vasoconstrictors and resistance to salt-induced hypertension. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit partial prenatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
