Primary Identifier | MGI:106368 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 52897 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nervous system development and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nucleus and perikaryon. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RBFOX3 (RNA binding fox-1 homolog 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced brain weight, increased susceptibility kainic acid-induced seizures, decreased anxiety-related behaviors, and deficits in synaptic transmission and plasticity in the dentate gyrus.
