Primary Identifier | MGI:1099447 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 224139 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in chondrocyte proliferation. Located in cis-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo endoderm; face; limb bud; nervous system; and pancreas. Used to study cleft palate. Orthologous to human GOLGB1 (golgin B1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects glycosylation of glycoproteins in the extra-cellular matrix of the palatal shelves, resulting in their failure to elevate and fuse, leading to cleft palate.
