Primary Identifier | MGI:1917600 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 70350 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in podocyte differentiation. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nuclear speck. Is expressed in limb; nervous system; and neural ectoderm. Orthologous to human BASP1 (brain abundant membrane attached signal protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit postnatal lethality, hyperactivity, decreased body weight, and defects in neurite axon outgrowth, Schwann cell morphology, and brain ventricle size.
