Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 26941 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables dopamine receptor binding activity and phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including maintenance of epithelial cell apical/basal polarity; negative regulation of signal transduction; and organic anion transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including auditory receptor cell stereocilium organization; cerebrospinal fluid circulation; and dopamine receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including brush border membrane; sperm midpiece; and stereocilium tip. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; pleura; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypophosphatemic nephrolithiasis/osteoporosis 2. Orthologous to human NHERF1 (NHERF family PDZ scaffold protein 1). PHENOTYPE: For one allele homozygous null mice exhibit renal phosphate wasting, reduced fertility and high female mortality rate at birth and postnatally. For a second allele homozygous null mice exhibit hypophosphatemia, increased intestinal goblet cell numbers and abnormal intestinal epithelial cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
