Primary Identifier | MGI:1316708 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 15983 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ribosome binding activity and translation repressor activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of translation. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blood; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human IFRD2 (interferon related developmental regulator 2). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null mutation display decreased body weight, decreased fat amount and impaired white adipocyte differentiation. [provided by MGI curators] |
