| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; determination of left/right symmetry; and maintenance of animal organ identity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment or maintenance of cell polarity; extracellular matrix organization; and non-motile cilium assembly. Located in ciliary base and ciliary inversin compartment. Is expressed in embryo and secondary heart field. Used to study autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and nephronophthisis 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meckel syndrome 7; hypertension; nephronophthisis; nephronophthisis 3; and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia. Orthologous to human NPHP3 (nephrocystin 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous hypomorphic mice display slowly progressing kidney cysts, enlarged kidneys, increased blood urea nitrogen, kidney inflammation and associated fibrosis, and premature death. Homozygous null mice display mid gestational lethality with partial penetrance of situs inversus. [provided by MGI curators] |
