description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; male sex differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; gut; hair follicle; lung; and surface ectoderm. Orthologous to human MIR184 (microRNA 184). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased fasted circulating glucose, increased fasted circulating insulin and improved glucose tolerance with increased beta-cell mass and beta cell proliferation.
