Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 93688 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within adult walking behavior; cerebellar Purkinje cell layer development; and dendrite development. Located in dendrite and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in brain; extrinsic ocular muscle; and ventral grey horn. Orthologous to human KLHL1 (kelch like family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice both homozygous and heterozygous for disruption of this gene develop abnormalities in gait and defects in motor coordination with time. Dendritic atrophy of Purkinje cells is also seen. [provided by MGI curators] |
