Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within otolith morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; pancreas tip epithelium; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LRIG3 (leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele or severely hypomorphic gene trap allele exhibit fusion of the lateral semicircular canal and circling behavior. [provided by MGI curators] |
