Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable apolipoprotein binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Located in endoplasmic reticulum quality control compartment and nuclear membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; intestine; and musculature. Orthologous to human CANX (calnexin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit motor defects, loss of large myelinated nerve fibers, small size, and very high mortality between birth and 4 weeks of age.
