Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 19324 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity and GTPase activity. Involved in cell migration; melanosome transport; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Located in Golgi apparatus and melanosome. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm and genitourinary system. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human RAB1A (RAB1A, member RAS oncogene family). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
