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; clathrin binding activity; and cytoskeletal protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within calcium-mediated signaling and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; immune system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human NCALD (neurocalcin delta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a knock-out allele show reduced fertility, decreased body and brain weight, enlarged lateral ventricles, a reduction in subgranular zone length of the dentate gyrus, impaired adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and increased axonal length in spinal motor neurons.
