Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 18530 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in dendrite and presynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; and hindlimb. Orthologous to human PCDH8 (protocadherin 8). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and fertile, and do not exhibit any gross skeletal defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
