Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 50877 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables exo-alpha-sialidase activity. Involved in ganglioside catabolic process. Located in early endosome membrane; external side of plasma membrane; and recycling endosome membrane. Is expressed in brain. Orthologous to human NEU3 (neuraminidase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased colon carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane and dextran sodium sulfate. [provided by MGI curators] |
