Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 57784 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to contribute to lipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within myoblast migration involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; regulation of lamellipodium assembly; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Located in actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; lens; limb; and testis. Orthologous to human BIN3 (bridging integrator 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice develop juvenile cataracts characterized by defects in cytoskeletal filamentous actin organization, show a higher incidence of spontaneous lymphomas during aging, and display a greater sensitivity to lung adenocarcinoma formation in response to radiation or carcinogen treatment.
