Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of presynapse assembly and regulation of synaptic membrane adhesion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including motor behavior; negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; and neuron migration. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in cortical plate. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 18. Orthologous to human MDGA2 (MAM domain containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice that paternally inherit an allele disrupted by transgene insertion exhibit varying degrees of abnormalities in the skull, paw, and tail. [provided by MGI curators] |
