| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable filamin binding activity; misfolded protein binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial tube branching involved in lung morphogenesis; negative regulation of centrosome duplication; and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry; heart development; and kidney development. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Part of MKS complex. Is expressed in diencephalon; hindbrain lateral wall; metanephros; and organ of Corti. Used to study Joubert syndrome 6; Meckel syndrome; cystic kidney disease; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Bardet-Biedl syndrome (multiple); COACH syndrome; Joubert syndrome 6; Meckel syndrome 3; and nephronophthisis (multiple). Orthologous to human TMEM67 (transmembrane protein 67). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele exhibit neonatal/postanal lethality, kidney cysts, and Meckel-Gruber or Joubert syndrome-like phenotypes depending on the filial generation of the backcross to C57BL/6J. Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit cardiovascular defects and cystic kidney. [provided by MGI curators] |
