Primary Identifier | MGI:1891740 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 59036 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables delta-catenin binding activity; protein kinase A binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic hindgut morphogenesis; negative regulation of JNK cascade; and regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Townes-Brocks syndrome. Orthologous to human DACT1 (dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal lethality, abnormal embryogenesis, blind-ended colons, and abnormal renal/urinary system. [provided by MGI curators] |
