Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 21961 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-substrate junction assembly and fibroblast migration. Located in focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; gut; heart; metanephros; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human TNS1 (tensin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced female fertility, and develop kidney cysts and progressive kidney degeneration that may lead to death from renal failure.
