Homozygous inactivation of this gene causes impaired glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show premature death associated with cardiac hypertrophy, growth retardation, insulin resistance, reduced adipose tissue deposits, and muscle fatigue.
