Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) A structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterochromatin formation; nucleus organization; and protein localization to nuclear envelope. Located in lamin filament and nuclear envelope. Is active in nuclear lamina. Is expressed in brain; cortical plate; early conceptus; embryo; and retina outer nuclear layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in partial lipodystrophy; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 9. Orthologous to human LMNB2 (lamin B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal death with abnormal brain development. [provided by MGI curators] |
