Primary Identifier | MGI:1915568 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 68318 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable endopeptidase activator activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chemical synaptic transmission; prepulse inhibition; and proteolysis. Part of gamma-secretase complex. Is expressed in brain and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease. Orthologous to human APH1B (aph-1 homolog B, gamma-secretase subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and fertile and do not show any significant aberrations in the brain, kidney, or testis. [provided by MGI curators] |
