Primary Identifier | MGI:894308 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 216344 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; GTP binding activity; and GTPase activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Located in neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including cranial ganglion; jaw bone; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; neural retina; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human RAB21 (RAB21, member RAS oncogene family). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit defects in chorion formation and placentation, abnormal trophoblast layer morphology, and complete lethality throughout fetal growth and development.
