Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 192197 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including acetyltransferase activator activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase binding activity. Involved in cell-cell signaling; positive regulation of endothelial cell migration; and regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. Located in cell leading edge; cell periphery; and cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; hemolymphoid system; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hengel-Maroofian-Schols syndrome. Orthologous to human BCAS3 (BCAS3 microtubule associated cell migration factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele or a conditional allele activated in endothelial cells exhibit embryonic lethality with abnormal development and cardiovascular patterning.
