Primary Identifier | MGI:1924217 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 76967 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in cilium assembly and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in centrosome. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Joubert syndrome 23 and short-rib thoracic dysplasia 14 with polydactyly. Orthologous to human KIAA0586 (KIAA0586). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die during organogenesis, lack cilia, and show randomized L-R patterning, face and neural tube defects, pericardial edema and hemorrhages. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts homozygous for a different null allele lack cilia and asymmetrical centriolar localization. [provided by MGI curators] |
