Primary Identifier | MGI:2652871 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 68813 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in Rac protein signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within bone remodeling and podosome assembly. Located in cytoplasm and podosome. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and myotome. Orthologous to human DOCK5 (dedicator of cytokinesis 5). PHENOTYPE: Mutations at this locus result in lens abnormalities involving cataracts and rupturing of the lens nucleus. [provided by MGI curators] |
