Primary Identifier | MGI:107555 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 20357 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axon extension; detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; and neuron projection guidance. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; and trunk connective tissue. Orthologous to human SEMA5B (semaphorin 5B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display defects in neurite arborization of multiple retinal cell types. [provided by MGI curators] |
