| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway; neurogenesis; and response to environmental enrichment. Located in Golgi apparatus; neuronal dense core vesicle lumen; and sperm midpiece. Is expressed in central nervous system; retina; and thymus primordium. Used to study choreaacanthocytosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choreaacanthocytosis and choreatic disease. Orthologous to human VPS13A (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show motor dysfunction, altered social interaction, hematologic defects including acanthocytosis, striatum atrophy with significant apoptosis and gliosis, lower midbrain homovanillic acid levels, and male sterility with asthenozoospermia and sperm mitochondrial sheath anomalies.
