Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 14248 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in sarcomere organization. Located in brush border and podosome. Is expressed in several structures, including Harderian gland; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human FLII (FLII actin remodeling protein). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele are able to initiate uterine implantation but degenerate rapidly thereafter. Heterozygous mutant mice display enhanced wound healing with increased epithelial migration and improved wound contraction. [provided by MGI curators] |
