About Insl3

Summary

Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity and protease binding activity. Involved in regulation of male gonad development. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and male gonad development. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in cornea; ovary; testis; and trunk. Used to study cryptorchidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cryptorchidism. Orthologous to human INSL3 (Insulin like 3).
