Primary Identifier | MGI:1929763 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 104445 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Rho protein signal transduction. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human CDC42EP1 (CDC42 effector protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit 50% lethality between E16.5 and P0, and defects in retinal and cardiac microvasculature and heart development, with reduced capillary density in hearts.
