Primary Identifier | MGI:1925031 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 77781 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of glycogen (starch) synthase activity; positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process; and response to insulin. Located in cytoplasmic side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and embryo. Orthologous to human EPM2AIP1 (EPM2A interacting protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit increased anxiety-related response, decreased liver glycogen storage and synthesis, hepatic steatosis, improved glucose tolerance and decreased hepatic insulin resistance.
