Primary Identifier | MGI:2182619 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 213469 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of exocytosis. Located in juxtaparanode region of axon and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; gut; nervous system; respiratory system; and retina. Orthologous to human LGI3 (leucine rich repeat LGI family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele have reduced and mis-localized Kv1 channel complexes in myelinated peripheral axons. A null IMPC allele shows enlarged kidney and spleen and thick skin.
