Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable insulin receptor binding activity and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 9 and lung cancer. Orthologous to human IRS4 (insulin receptor substrate 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit a 10% reduction in male adult size, slightly impaired oral glucose tolerance, and decreased reproductive ability.
