Primary Identifier | MGI:1335087 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 14155 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the C-end degron rule pathway. Acts upstream of or within branching involved in prostate gland morphogenesis; epithelial cell maturation involved in prostate gland development; and protein ubiquitination. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; retina; and spleen. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FEM1B (fem-1 homolog B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous targeted mutants display abnormal glucose tolerance due to defective glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
