Targeted disruption of this gene causes mild hyperglycemia in heterozygous mice and extreme hyperglycemia and embryonic to postnatal lethality in homozygous mice. Hyperglycemic knock-out or ENU-induced mutants may show reduced body weight and liver glycogen level, hepatic steatosis, and glucosuria.
