Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 14167 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity; sodium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; neuromuscular process; and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 47. Orthologous to human FGF12 (fibroblast growth factor 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile, and do not exhibit any significant behavioral or neurological phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
