Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 13196 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables GTPase activator activity and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of dendritic spine development and positive regulation of membrane tubulation. Located in dendritic spine and podosome. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; hemolymphoid system; limb; long bone; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ASAP1 (ArfGAP with SH3 domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a gene trapped allele show perinatal lethality, reduced respiratory rate, fetal growth retardation, slow weight gain, delayed bone ossification, reduced adipogenesis and altered in vitro differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells into chondrocytes, adipocytes and osteoblasts.
