Primary Identifier | MGI:1338049 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 20403 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in clathrin-dependent synaptic vesicle endocytosis and positive regulation of dendrite extension. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation and endocytosis. Predicted to be located in centrosome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; intracellular vesicle; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; hemolymphoid system; ileum; male reproductive gland or organ; and nervous system. Used to study nephrotic syndrome. Orthologous to human ITSN2 (intersectin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal brain morphology and function and behavior. Mice lacking the long isoform exhibit delayed recovery from LPS-induced kidney injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
