Primary Identifier | MGI:97075 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 110119 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mannose-6-phosphate isomerase activity. Involved in GDP-mannose biosynthetic process from glucose. Acts upstream of or within mannose to fructose-6-phosphate catabolic process. Is active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carbohydrate metabolic disorder and congenital disorder of glycosylation Ib. Orthologous to human MPI (mannose phosphate isomerase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality during organogenesis, variable abnormalities of the yolk sac and embryonic vasculature, and partial penetrance of abnormal chorioallantoic fusion, placental defects, impaired emrbyo turning, increased apoptosis, and posterior axial truncations.
