description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Roundabout signaling pathway; long-term synaptic potentiation; and retina vasculature development in camera-type eye. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; foregut-midgut junction; sensory organ; skeleton; and tooth. Orthologous to human MIR218-2 (microRNA 218-2). PHENOTYPE: Mice null for both Mir218-1 and Mir218-2 display neonatal lethality with a systemic neuromuscular failure. [provided by MGI curators] |
