Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 56612 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable amyloid-beta binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within retina development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of prefoldin complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; cartilage; genitourinary system; gut gland; and trachea. Orthologous to human PFDN5 (prefoldin subunit 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit photoreceptor degeneration, central nervous system abnormalities, and male infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
