Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of dendritic spine maintenance; positive regulation of immunological synapse formation; and regulation of cell migration. Acts upstream of or within activation of GTPase activity. Located in immunological synapse; nucleus; and spindle pole. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; and nose. Orthologous to human NEDD9 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one null allele exhibit impaired lymphocyte trafficking and a deficit of splenic marginal zone B cells. Mice homozygous for another null allele display impaired spatial learning and decreased hippocampal dendritic spine densities. [provided by MGI curators] |
