Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 13800 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables SH3 domain binding activity and profilin binding activity. Involved in actin filament organization and actin polymerization-dependent cell motility. Acts upstream of or within actin polymerization or depolymerization; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; lamellipodium; and stress fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early embryo; embryo ectoderm; gonad; and limb bud. Orthologous to human ENAH (ENAH actin regulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation show defects in major axonal projection pathways in brain, including malformation of the hippocampal commissure and pontocerebellar fibers and frequent agenesis of the corpus callosum due to a failure of axons to project across the midline during development.
