Primary Identifier | MGI:96240 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 15507 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein kinase C binding activity and protein kinase C inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of protein kinase activity; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in Z disc; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is active in cornified envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2F; autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 3; pancreatic cancer; and sarcoma. Orthologous to human HSPB1 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable and fertile with no apparent tissue abnormalities under physiological conditions. Mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit impaired wound healing with delayed wound closing and abnormal inflammatory response. [provided by MGI curators] |
