Primary Identifier | MGI:894310 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 20362 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activity; SNARE binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of SNARE complex assembly; regulation of intracellular protein transport; and regulation of protein stability. Located in myelin sheath. Part of septin complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; cochlea; dermis; testis; and turbinate bone primordium. Orthologous to human SEPTIN8 (septin 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit myelin outfoldings and reduced nerve conduction velocity. [provided by MGI curators] |
