Primary Identifier | MGI:107811 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 18164 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis involved in innervation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and transport vesicle. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic cleft. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; molar; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia. Orthologous to human NPTX1 (neuronal pentraxin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation of this gene display a mild alteration in retinal ganglion cell innervation but are fertile with no obvious behavioral abnormalities.
