Primary Identifier | MGI:1855688 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 53612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable SNAP receptor activity; SNARE binding activity; and chloride channel inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi vesicle transport; regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Located in Golgi apparatus; membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and dorsal root ganglion. Orthologous to human VTI1B (vesicle transport through interaction with t-SNAREs 1B). PHENOTYPE: While the majority of homozygous mutant mice are of normal size, some show reduced weight. A portion of these smaller mice died within 6 weeks of life. Liver cysts were identified in some of the mutant mice that were of normal size. [provided by MGI curators] |
