Primary Identifier | MGI:97282 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 17968 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Located in axon. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NCAM2 (neural cell adhesion molecule 2). PHENOTYPE: A gene trap insertion into an intron of this gene results in no obvious phenotype. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit exhibit increased proliferation rate and clonogenic frequency in spinal cord-derived neurospheres. [provided by MGI curators] |
