description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human WDR13 (WD repeat domain 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased pancreas beta cell proliferation, hyperinsulinemia and mild obesity. [provided by MGI curators] |
