Primary Identifier | MGI:1918006 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 238130 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable PDZ domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in cell chemotaxis; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle contraction; and positive regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell migration. Located in stereocilium. Is expressed in dorsal aorta; ovary; and testis. Orthologous to human DOCK4 (dedicator of cytokinesis 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of this gene leads to complete embryonic lethality. Heterozygotes display altered blood vessel lumen formation. [provided by MGI curators] |
