Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including cadherin binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; positive regulation of leukocyte migration; and vasculogenesis. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst formation; cardiac epithelial to mesenchymal transition; and nervous system development. Located in cell projection; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; sensory organ; and skeletal musculature. Orthologous to human RTN4 (reticulon 4). PHENOTYPE: Mutant mice lacking the A and B isoforms are viable and one line shows enhanced regeneration and recovery after spinal cord injury. Different lines of mice lacking isoforms A, B, and C show varying phenotypes. Whereas some produce viable homozygotes, others are embryonic lethal. [provided by MGI curators] |
