Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 15235 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable histone kinase activity and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryo implantation; mammary duct terminal end bud growth; and positive regulation of mammary gland epithelial cell proliferation. Located in vacuole. Is expressed in foregut epithelium; liver; and uterus. Orthologous to several human genes including MST1 (macrophage stimulating 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lipid-filled cytoplasmic vacuoles in hepatocytes throughout the liver lobules. [provided by MGI curators] |
