Primary Identifier | MGI:1922090 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 74840 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable sulfatide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within vasoconstriction of artery involved in ischemic response to lowering of systemic arterial blood pressure. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen; extracellular space; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hemolymphoid system gland; nervous system; sensory organ; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinsonism; breast cancer; carcinoma (multiple); and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human MANF (mesencephalic astrocyte derived neurotrophic factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO affects de novo protein synthesis in differentiating neuronal stem cells and pancreatic beta cells, disrupting the migration and neurite growth of developing cortical neurons and causing severe growth retardation and hyperglycemia.
