Primary Identifier | MGI:894689 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 22627 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables protein domain specific binding activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of protein dephosphorylation; neuron migration; and pallium development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome and left ventricular noncompaction. Orthologous to human YWHAE (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene usually die around birth. The small percentage of survivors are small in size and display central nervous system abnormalities including a thinner cortex and a disorganized pyramidal cell layer in the hippocampus.
