Primary Identifier | MGI:2678948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 231003 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable POZ domain binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and regulation protein catabolic process at postsynapse. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; dendrite cytoplasm; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human KLHL17 (kelch like family member 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous and heterozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced width of dendritic spine heads in neurons. Heterozygotes also show slightly increased mEPSC amplitude, hyperactivity and increased rearing, and reduced social interaction. [provided by MGI curators] |
