Primary Identifier | MGI:1926224 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 268859 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Acts upstream of or within neuromuscular process controlling balance; regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; and regulation of skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; cranial nerve; heart; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human RBFOX1 (RNA binding fox-1 homolog 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in the brain exhibit reduced fertility, infrequent spontaneous seizures, increased susceptibility to kainic acid-induced seizures and lethality, and increased neuronal excitation.
