Primary Identifier | MGI:1933973 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 93686 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and regulation of definitive erythrocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within dendrite morphogenesis; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and radial glia guided migration of Purkinje cell. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; brain; dorsal root ganglion; early embryo; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease. Orthologous to human RBFOX2 (RNA binding fox-1 homolog 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in the brain exhibit normal spontaneous and kainic acid-induced seizures.
