description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell proliferation involved in contact inhibition; phagolysosome assembly; and positive regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand. Located in autophagosome and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including otic capsule and skeleton. Orthologous to human SRPX (sushi repeat containing protein X-linked). PHENOTYPE: Mice either heterozygous or homozygous for a knock-out allele display increased sensitivity to malignant tumor formation at 7-12 months of age. In addition, homozygotes exhibit atypical lymphocyte morphhology and splenomegaly. [provided by MGI curators] |
