Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity; enzyme binding activity; and myosin II binding activity. Acts upstream of or within maintenance of apical/basal cell polarity. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; cytoskeleton; and myelin sheath abaxonal region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LLGL1 (LLGL scribble cell polarity complex component 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice die neonatally exhibiting hydroencephaly. Neural progenitor cell physiology is abnormal, resulting in a loss of cell polarity and the development of neuroepithelial rosette-like structures throughout the brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
