description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to be involved in regulation of immune response. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human PIANP (PILR alpha associated neural protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced prefrontal cortext volume, granule cell apoptosis in the dentate gyrus, increased immature neuronal cells, reduced Purkinje cell density, and autism-like behaviors.
