Primary Identifier | MGI:1927138 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 56349 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within myoblast migration. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in forelimb bud and submandibular gland primordium epithelium. Orthologous to human NET1 (neuroepithelial cell transforming 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit delayed mammary gland development during puberty associated with slower ductal extension, reduced ductal branching and epithelial cell proliferation, disorganized myoepithelial and ductal epithelial cells, and increased collagen deposition.
