| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axonogenesis; microtubule depolymerization; and positive regulation of RNA splicing. Located in several cellular components, including COPI-coated vesicle; Cajal body; and growth cone. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; gonad; and hemolymphoid system gland. Used to study Werdnig-Hoffmann disease; intermediate spinal muscular atrophy; and juvenile spinal muscular atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Werdnig-Hoffmann disease; adult spinal muscular atrophy; intermediate spinal muscular atrophy; juvenile spinal muscular atrophy; and spinal muscular atrophy. Orthologous to human SMN1 (survival of motor neuron 1, telomeric) and SMN2 (survival of motor neuron 2, centromeric). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit cell loss and peri-implantation lethality. Muscle-specific KO mice show muscle necrosis leading to paralysis and death. Neuron-specific KO mice show muscle degeneration associated with loss of motor axons. [provided by MGI curators] |
