Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in miRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on negative regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glucose metabolic process; response to insulin; and triglyceride metabolic process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease. Orthologous to human MIR423 (microRNA 423).
