Primary Identifier | MGI:109367 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 23918 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables IMP dehydrogenase activity. Involved in 'de novo' XMP biosynthetic process and GMP biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interleukin-4; lymphocyte proliferation; and purine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human IMPDH2 (inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have abnormalities resulting in embryonic lethality around the time of implantation. [provided by MGI curators] |
