Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 18472 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables identical protein binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and phosphoprotein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cortical microtubule organization; establishment of planar polarity; and inner ear development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; nervous system development; and transport along microtubule. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and stereocilium. Part of microtubule associated complex. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome and lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly and lissencephaly 1. Orthologous to human PAFAH1B1 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b regulatory subunit 1). PHENOTYPE: Mutations at this locus result in neuronal migration defects. Homozygous null mutants die around implantation. Different allelic combinations show variable cortical, hippocampal and olfactory disorganization and impaired spatial learning and coordination.
