Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 5-phosphatase activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; photoreceptor outer segment; and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; membrane; and neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; liver; maxillary process; musculature; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Dent disease 2 and oculocerebrorenal syndrome. Orthologous to human OCRL (OCRL inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice do not develop and of the abnormalities associated with oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe. [provided by MGI curators] |
