Primary Identifier | MGI:1926135 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 78885 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Golgi organization; actin filament organization; and establishment of cell polarity. Located in Golgi apparatus and membrane. Is expressed in hemolymphoid system; nervous system; neural retina; and small intestine. Orthologous to several human genes including CORO7 (coronin 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and overtly normal but exhibit disruption of the Golgi apparatus. Mutant fibroblasts show increased cell spreading and cellular F-actin content, increased cell polarization and migration, and enhanced wound healing in a scratch-wound assay.
