Primary Identifier | MGI:1919570 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 72320 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable kinesin binding activity and protein sequestering activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut; and liver. Used to study Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Goldberg-Shprintzen syndrome. Orthologous to human KIFBP (kinesin family binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous KO mice die shortly after birth from respiratory failure. Knockout affects innervation of the digestive tract, and the development of the olfactory bulb and the anterior commissure in the brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
