Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 17245 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within retina development in camera-type eye. Located in centriole; centrosome; and non-motile cilium. Is expressed in brain ependyma; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Used to study retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human MDM1 (Mdm1 nuclear protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a nonsense point mutation exhibit retinal degeneration, abnormal eye electrophysiology. [provided by MGI curators] |
