Primary Identifier | MGI:1354962 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 50797 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in Golgi vesicle transport and intracellular protein transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including incisor; liver lobe; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 19. Orthologous to human COPB2 (COPI coat complex subunit beta 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display early embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
