Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 76884 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Involved in dendrite extension and positive regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway. Part of SCAR complex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; sensory organ; skeleton; skin; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 65. Orthologous to human CYFIP2 (cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for knock-out allele exhibit complete neonatal lethality. Mice homozygous for a dominant spontaneous mutation exhibit impaired behavioral response to cocaine, fewer dendritic spines and reduced miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency.
