Primary Identifier | MGI:894689 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 22627 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein domain specific binding activity; protein phosphatase binding activity; and protein phosphatase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within neuron migration; pallium development; and protein targeting. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome and left ventricular noncompaction. Orthologous to human YWHAE (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene usually die around birth. The small percentage of survivors are small in size and display central nervous system abnormalities including a thinner cortex and a disorganized pyramidal cell layer in the hippocampus.
