| Primary Identifier | MGI:106211 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 12540 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GTP-dependent protein binding activity; GTPase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendritic spine morphogenesis; heart development; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; filopodium assembly; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including leading edge membrane; phagocytic vesicle; and storage vacuole. Is active in cell leading edge; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; eye; and genitourinary system. Used to study cleft palate and microvillus inclusion disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fibrosarcoma. Orthologous to human CDC42 (cell division cycle 42). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele are small, lack primary ectoderm, exhibit disorganized embryonic tissue and die before somite formation. Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele die at E3.5-E7.5. Mice heterozygous for a targeted allele show reduced ventricle muscle contractility. [provided by MGI curators] |
