Primary Identifier | MGI:95602 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 14360 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables several functions, including cytoskeletal protein binding activity; protein tyrosine kinase activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of dendritic spine maintenance; positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activated T cell proliferation; negative regulation of protein metabolic process; and nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including actin filament; membrane raft; and postsynaptic density. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study skin disease and skin squamous cell carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human FYN (FYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase). PHENOTYPE: Different targeted allele homozygotes show different defects, including seizure susceptibility, anxiety, impaired suckling, myelination, LTP and spatial learning, and defects in immune system, circadian rhythm, testes weight and olfactory bulb formation.
