Primary Identifier | MGI:105100 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 12388 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables protein domain specific binding activity and protein phosphatase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glomerulus morphogenesis; positive regulation of protein metabolic process; and salivary gland development. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; apicolateral plasma membrane; and bicellular tight junction. Part of flotillin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-8 cell stage embryo; alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blepharocheilodontic syndrome 2. Orthologous to human CTNND1 (catenin delta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene die shortly after birth and have morphological abnormalities of the salivary glands and lacrimal gland. [provided by MGI curators] |
