Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit no gross abnormalities with normal muscle morphology and regeneration. Mice homozygous for an allele lacking the inhibiting domain exhibit enhanced skeletal muscle regeneration. Mice homozygous for an allele lacking the RAS-binding domain exhibit impaired skeletal muscle regeneration.
