Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 241159 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables exo-alpha-sialidase activity. Involved in ganglioside catabolic process; glycoprotein catabolic process; and negative regulation of neuron projection development. Located in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; liver; lung; metanephros; and spleen. Orthologous to human NEU4 (neuraminidase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are largely normal except increased lipid content in the lung and liver and vacuolization indicative of lysosomal storage disorder.
