Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable phosphatidylserine binding activity and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in plasma membrane tubulation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytosol; membrane raft; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in caveola and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including dorsal root ganglion; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and tongue. Orthologous to human CAVIN2 (caveolae associated protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal caveolae formation in lung and adipose endothelia and adipocytes with gaps in the lung capillaries. [provided by MGI curators] |
