Primary Identifier | MGI:1917685 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 70435 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within actin nucleation; gene expression; and regulation of cellular component size. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate E and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5. Orthologous to human INF2 (inverted formin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display placental vasculopathy, restricted fetal growth, increased gestational length and transient increase in maternal blood pressure in the late stages of pregnancy.
