and
phenotypes
All alleles(1) : Targeted, knock-out(1)
Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit susceptibility to diet-induced obesity, attenuated dibutyryl cAMP-induced adipocyte release of glycerol and free fatty acid, and reduced acute insulin secretion in response to beta-adrenergic stimulation.
