| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 218035 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to starvation; lysosomal transport; and vesicle fusion. Located in early endosome; late endosome membrane; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Part of HOPS complex. Is expressed in extraembryonic component and primitive endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 29. Orthologous to human VPS41 (VPS41 subunit of HOPS complex). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele die by E9 exhibiting morphological and functional alteration of late endocytic compartments, and abnormal triploblastic development.
