Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; brain; genitourinary system; gut gland; and retina. Orthologous to human TBC1D1 (TBC1 domain family member 1).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozgyous for a targeted mutation that removes exon 4 exhibit no adverse phenotype. Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit decreased body weight, resistance to diet-induced obesity, increased fat oxidization and decreased glucose uptake in the muscle.
